Clutch cable replacement - cosmic_splatter - 08-06-2014
Fixkick,
I purchased a replacement cable for the clutch. The new cable doesn't have the rubber bushing the current cable has. Should I find a cable that more matches what's on the car? Or, should this one work fine?
Here is a photo of the two cables...

this is tricky too, as is radiators, clutch caBles, and A/t kick down cables.
the 1995 year had many changes some were a prelude to OBD2 and some were for faster builds, and the bubber is more easy to install
one more proof the car is 1995.5 car, (jan 1995 is mid fiscal year car, begin is July 1994) 96 builds start i july 1995.
i do not have serial number cut offs for GM , its not published i think, only on suzuki real cars.
sorry!
i lied
i forgot i did this in 2008

Thanks fixkick, I kept wondering why your were saying my vehicle is mid year when it was built in 1/95. I now understand! I forgot how those automakers start selling things a year early! lol.
I have amazon prime, so it's no charge on the returns and they give me instant credit. I just send the stuff all back. It's their error they sell these to fit a 95 tracker. lol. It's their money being lost. When they figure that out, they will fix the descriptions.
Thanks for the info! I'm certainly glad I didn't start that project!! I worked on installing the rallytop. I'll post some pics in a bit.

the trackers were made side by side with Gm Geo's but there are some , different cut in dates on parts.... oddly.
the clutch cable is one.
your doing a great job restoring that car, you will like it when done....

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm a bit frustrated with this engine closed loop issue. Is it possible that rhinoview has some bugs and that I may have a bad 02 sensor? Or, do you think it's telling me correct info? Or bad ecu?
