clutch cable ering replacement

Post by Kickingback99 »

Anybody know if the clutch cable ering at the firewall can be found easily. Mine snapped in half, and before I go looking just wanted to know what I was up against...thanks

Do you supply clutch cables?

Yes it is through the fire wall and easy to replace.

A bit of tightly wound wire will do the trick also.

And bundy is just another Rocky collector like me, not a clutch cable supplier :D

Yeah, but I probably do have a half dozen or so clutch cables lying around.

Ah....... is a Rocky cable the same as a Feroza one ?

IIRC KinkingBack99's got what we call a Feroza - could be the same but just though I'd ask.
( usual disclaimers )

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

Yeah, but he is only after the adjustment clip. Having had my nose under the bonnet of a Feroza or 2, looking at parts compatability, I'm pretty sure they are the same size. Of course, someone could take a measurement of the diameter of the adjustment area.

I'd somehow doubt if fez/rocky cables are interchangeable :?


Unless your talking a petrol rocky, then maybe.


I bought a cable of suzi4 wreckers - 'specializing' in Daihatsu and Suzuki 4wd's :roll: - drove all the way home to find it was the wrong one, off a petty rocky, after I specified numerous times DIESEL!! In the end I don't know what cable it was, but it wasn't for a diesel rocky.

No, I didnt say the cable was interchangable, I was talking about the adjustment E clip, which is, after all, what the original poster is chasing. I am reasonably sure the diameter of the outer cable, where it passes through the firewall, is the same.

As for compatability of diesel and petrol Rocky clutch cables, yep, they are the same, the only difference between petrol and diesel gearboxes being the input shafts and the bellhousings. I do have both vehicles at home. Perhaps you scored a Feroza cable, referred from a US catalogue? I will check both when I get home. I may be wrong, but I dont think I am.

Had a look, and pulled a clutch cable out of the parts car. The rubber boot on the clutch end has cracked through, but the cable itself pulls and pushes through freely. You could probably do a bodgy on the boot.

2 choices if you want, either I can post it down to you next time I am home, which is in just under 2 weeks, or I could probably deliver it to Sydney on my way back from holidays in about 5 weeks time. I'm not wanting much, or really anything for it, starting to get rid of all my parts, as I hope to be rid of my Rocky soon. And whats left over will be pretty much scrap. Tell me what its worth, plus postage if I post it to you.

Cheers
Bundy
