New manually adjusting clutch cable, clutch pedal high Posted by Adam [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Greetings all. I had my clutch cable on my '96 900S start clicking and am aware of all the failures in the self adjustment mechanism. I purchased the manually adjusting one from thesaabsite.com and installed it last night. The old cable had plenty of slack and was easy to get off the clutch arm. When I put the new one in, there wasn't enough adjustment to allow me to slip the cable onto the clutch arm. I had to remove the clutch pedal stop, and I can't put it back to the position it was in without it pulling on the clutch arm. The pedal sits really high, almost 3 inches higher than the brake pedal now. The clutch also grabs towards the top of pedal travel, I'd say about 2 inches from the top. It's almost as if the cable is too short. I have the adjustment mechanism tightened up all the way (cable sheath is shortened). Turning the adjustment the other way makes it worse. Is it possible that this cable doesn't fit right, or is my clutch just that worn? I bought the car used and know that the clutch was replaced once, but I don't know when. The clutch doesn't slip and isn't particularly hard to depress. Should I try the NAPA cable, or just go back to the self-adjusting SAAB cable? Sorry about the length of this post, I'm just not sure what to do now.
