Post subject: | Fiesta Si Clutch Cable |
![]() So i've done a few clutch cables in my time.. but this one has got me.. Where does it go through the bulkhead?.. n what way? I got a cheap cable and greased it with red rubber, If im correct its also best to put some antiseize in the clutch release arm to cable contact? Really stumped on this one, can't find the hole ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Yes I have done these before, never fords but nissans, peugeots and a selection of older cars. Will take a better look tomorrow, tried looking today and having a poke about but can't find anything, its obv there maybe under carpet or something. Trying to do the exhaust bushes today.. seemed ford engineered em to be a **itch to get on, tried bending the tags, chamfering them.. ended up with a sore neck and called it a day. |

The back exhaust bush wasn't too hard after i jacked the car up so could use both hands.. the mid was a beetch but finally got it on using lots of silicone oil and a spanner ![]() Reason it was so hard (i think) is due to the exhaust hanging to low and also being more towards the front of the car than the bush fixings were designed for, the bushes now are being stretched by the exhaust which isn't good. Clutch cable, well there is some badly thought out routing going on there, lucky i'm puny otherwise the inlet would have had to come off to get to the bush, still had skin taken off getting to the thing. Would of helped if I had the old one in to look at the routing. Also today refurbed some alloys in black, busy day lol |
