    Hi,
    Would anyone be so kind as to give me a simple sequence of tasks involved in replacing a clutch cable please. I lack work space at the moment so am trying to weight up if I can do it my drive. Is Superformace's replacement any good?
    Thanks in advance.
    Chris

    The cable is symmetrical at each end so the basic removal would be:
    Gain access to where it is mounted in the pedal box and the rear clutch tab mount
    Release the captured pin, rotate it out to free the cable, unscrew securing mount then do the other end and slide the unit out. a pic of the new part bought from Superformance is attached to help visualize it

    Replace in reverse with a few notes:
    - cover the head in a plastic bag before pushing forward through the tunnel to prevent debris from getting in the clutch cable
    - Several folks have found they need to shim the mount to get the correct throw length
    - the new cables do not come with boots and you should add these, especially for the rear one where the vertical positioning is ripe for dirt to drop into it
