Hi All,
You might have surmised that the reason this question is posted is because my clutch cable snapped yesterday. Right on a busy PCH and right in the middle of a biblical down pour.
I remember when I first joined OMC of hearing people carrying spare clutch cables as part of their roadside emergency kits. I was proud of the fact that I never carried a clutch cable or for that matter a roadside emergency kit. My car never broke down on me. In the 5 years prior to joining the club, I've always gotten home. And had always been able to repair whatever came up. Just lucky I guess.
But my incident yesterday got me thinking that maybe some of the Opel folks were onto something. Maybe carrying a spare clutch cable isn't such a bad idea. Now that I'm older and wiser, it might make sense for me to do the same.
So how long DOES a clutch cable last?
Thanks,
Manny
