need a new clutch cable.

flattusmaximus78 · January 14th, 2009, 11:37 AM

My clutch cable is adjusted all the way out, and its still hard to get in gearm shift fast, or slow sometimes. So it looks like I stretched the stocker. And not going into gear has made my tranny whine like a mother effer cause when racing it allways grinds. So I'm tossing some fluid in her today and my next investment shall be the cable.

How much do they run and are they hard to install?

Love u lol... Will do. I'm going to destroy my tremec if I continue this route. It leaks a little and whines on the highway now on the street, and grinding gears doesn't help. Is it hard to install?

TKOTLARZ · January 14th, 2009, 12:13 PM

i used a funnel with a tube on the end and there are two "screws" on the side of the tranny..use a 3/8s ratchet to loosen..i put the tube in the top one and wen it starts to come out i stop and tighten..u shouldnt be able to put a quart in unless u been driving around low..a tranny should really hold its fuild..its not like an engine that can burn oil or anything..if u want to jus put some new in for the good of it, jus change it all

flattusmaximus78 · January 14th, 2009, 04:59 PM

its leaking from somewere thats the only reason.

flattusmaximus78 · January 14th, 2009, 05:10 PM

just pulled the top bolt out and nothing came out lol... def need fluid.

TKOTLARZ · January 14th, 2009, 05:14 PM

its leaking..well its either goin out the front or back...u probably live on an incline to im guessing??wen u take the top screw out it doesnt necessarily mean it needs it..thats right where its should be..but if u try putting some in and i does take it, then ur low..look for grease on front and rear of tranny

flattusmaximus78 · January 14th, 2009, 06:17 PM

The car is parked on an incline, but it drips on flat surfaces as well. When I pulled it into the garage it left a nasty drop. Enough to quench my thirst.

MOTOIMPAIRED · January 14th, 2009, 07:17 PM

Take care of that grinding fast... My started grinding going into third and now I no longer have a third or fourth gear!!!

Pulling the motor and tranny now and getting ready to rebuild both...

flattusmaximus78 · January 15th, 2009, 11:35 AM

Was that your trans or did you destroy it with the clutch cable. I can't promise its my clutch cable, but its getting harder and harder to go into gear. and then when I try to go shift fact it grinds like the clutch isn't engaging fully.

uprpat · January 15th, 2009, 12:22 PM

pm sent on clutch cable.

black5.0 · January 15th, 2009, 02:35 PM

Your going to buy a adjuster and the quadrant right.The plastic on is okay if you have a stock clutch. i just bought the whole kit from latemodel resto

flattusmaximus78 · January 15th, 2009, 03:52 PM

Im trying to make sure its my cable doing this, but the car is getting harder and harder to go into gear. But when I shift without the clutch its ten times easier. Sound about right.

and im on a king cobra clutch is a quadrent worth it.

black5.0 · January 15th, 2009, 04:32 PM

I have a super king cobra clutch and i had to get it so i wouldnt slip.i would get both so you can adjust it. it probably needs to be adjusted so it will release
