Title: Replacing clutch cable? Post by: droptop on May 20, 2017, 04:18:50 PM I'm in the process of changing the clutch cable on my F/L/ spyder but I can't see where it attaches to the clutch pedal.
I understand it's held that end by a pin and circlip but I just can't seem to locate it. I took out the instrument cluster but that was absolutely no help. I presume I'm just missing the obvious here? Title: Re: Replacing clutch cable?

Title: Re: Replacing clutch cable? Post by: droptop on May 21, 2017, 01:48:12 PM I received a drawing from a member via email a short while ago and it's no wonder I couldn't find it!
There's more parts in the clutch pedal than an entire British Leyland "A" series engine! At least I now understand how the bizarre angle of entry of the cable through the bulkhead allows connection to the pedal Title: Re: Replacing clutch cable?

I was dizzy standing on my head trying to find it under the dash :-X Title: Re: Replacing clutch cable? Post by: lanciamad on May 28, 2017, 09:36:28 AM We've all been there, taking the long route to an easy fix ;) glad it's sorted :)

I just discovered that I threw away the entire air filter assembly for the face-lift spyder in mistake for the assembly off an old BMW I sold years ago? Coincidentally, BMW air filters do not fit Lancia Betas >:( |
