<VV> Clutch Cable

[shortle]

Hi Marc,
Were there any warning signs leading up to the broken cable? Clutch needing adjustment? Stiff pedal? Noises? And how did the cable break? (I assume the ball came off the cable). And on what year/model please?

>Yesterday was a very pretty day in Southern California and I desided to take the wife on a drive along the Pacific Ocean. The usual but always welcome comments, such as, that is a beautiful car were heard by me and the wife. The one person you don't want to hear it from, the tow truck driver, was unfortunately on scene. I had just gone thru an intersection and was in 2nd gear when the clutch cable broke. Traffic was not too heavy and I was able to get to the curb without incident. I had a cable in my garage, a remnant of a car I had parted out, so I took both to a trusted mechanic (car on tow truck & cable in the bed of my pickup)
