from my mystery below , found comment , from zukipilot @ zukiworld
'' found this comment @ another site ; ''I have had them kink on me in the woods numerous times and I had to drive out with no clutch![[Image: sad.gif]](https://fixkick.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)
''
so i tested the old kinked cable , clamped either end to fiixed points as it is in the car. Then measured the inner cable protrusion cable unkinked vs kinked , the most i could get was 1/4 inch more. Yet when i tried an on road repair by tightening the 18/19 nut i moved it way more than that and the pedal cable was still sloppy
And what do i mean by kink ? the outer sheath , the wires were twisted and bent the plastic cover was stretched just where the cable passed above the exhaust. how the heck does that happen when both ends are fixed ? [ and no i had no reason to twist it putting it in ] And there was a lot of force needed to twist it back
My new cable is longer and has different details
