took me 1 1/2 hours (was taking my time!) but got it installed, adjusted, and tested around the block (up to 4th gear)! the difficult part i found was getting the pedal end to get through the firewall. the cable was stiff and didn't want to bend very much! hooking the pedal end was easy, i...

right.. ok gets complicated if it's a different part. and i can understand the convenience of unhooking the gearbox end without loosening the nut off. thanks lots, Frank!

thanks, RTK. what happens when you use a longer cable? will it still work? inefficient?

hi penpusher, this is an example of how to adjust the cable (gearbox end) http://www.allcorsa.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/adjust-your-clutch-6387.html?s=38eb5acdeb923d017fa73cd010a8c338& (you can find many articles about this on google) also my dad told me on the phone: - install and place...

an update: this is for motorcycle http://www.magnumshielding.com/store/clutch_cable.php, but it shows that cable length does not include travel part nor hooks or stoppers. spoke to Pat from Nissan, Wangara. he said not 100% sure, but said the same thing. just the cable. but it doesn't really...

great. thanks, RTK!

this is the listing on First Line's catalogues. even with my cable not completely straight, with the nut locked about halfway, it's over 100cm. but the 103cm one on the list is for micra 1998-2000. so........

hmm yea,.. but the "piggy head" hook (gearbox end) makes a difference. at the moment i have the adjustable part locked halfway. but i could loosen it up, hence the cable would be "longer". i'm just thinking you'd probably measure it with the piggy head off, hence there's no confusion?

hi RTK, no, it's not straight. and where should i lock it to get the correct measurement? or where should i start measuring and stop measuring? (a pic would help too) i'm looking at...

i didn't know i was supposed to take that bit off and leave the hook at the other end on ;-) (didn't know which parts belong to the cable and which belong to the car). i realized that it's removable when i found that ebay listing. so now the cable looks like this, with gearbox end locked at...

found this ebay listing that says compatible with N13 pulsar, but also says "Images are for general illustration purposes only, and may no picture the exact parts of this listing."...

oh, and part number 30770 4F100 . 21 95 on my old cable. checking N13 pulsar clutch cables. thanks, Rudy!

i'm not sure if there's a specific way to measure the cable, i just pulled the gearbox end all the way. a bit difficult to do, because it's bendy. it gave me 99.1 centimeters (without the hook thingy at gearbox end - as in picture).

thank you for replying, frank2. managed to get the cable off. had to get housemate's help with unscrewing the 10mm nut (C), because the thumbwheel kept turning with the nut. didn't know that the gearbox end of the cable also hooks up just like the pedal end. it was easy!!! B-) now is the hunt...

Hi all, First of all, I'm not very familiar with car parts and repairs, so please no jargon. On my Nissan Micra 1995, the plastic/rubber grommet on the clutch cable is broken (A - the one that goes into a metal bracket, near the battery). That means I need a new cable? Can't just power glue it...
