clutch engagement on my sammy
« on: February 28, 2010, 08:47:51 PM »
I think I have an idea whats causing my sammy to have a rather jerky clutch engagement, but I'd like some opinions before I go throwing money at it.

as it is, when you're letting the clutch out, it stars to engage ok, then it like hangs up, and sort of drops into fully engaged.  right now I'm suspecting the clutch cable to be at fault, so chances are I'm going to buy 2 new ones, one to replace the one on there, and one to go under my seat as the "just in case" one.

Thanks.    I figured thats the most likely culprit at 147k miles, but I dont have extra cash to just toss at it all the time.   gonna try to grab 2 new cables soon to fix it.     

it NEVER hurts to have a spare on hand.
