What is a Clutch Cable?
Simply put: a clutch cable allows the vehicle to change gear. The clutch cable forms part of the vehicle’s transmission. That is: all the components involved in the routing and transformation of the rotational movement from the engine to the driving wheels.
How To Adjust Clutch Cable
How do I know if my clutch needs adjustment?
Five Signs My Clutch Is Going Out
- Change in Clutch Pedal Feel. If your clutch pedal feels different it’s time for an adjustment at a minimum.
- Grumbling or Squeaking. Your clutch shouldn’t make noise either.
- Poor Acceleration.
- Gear Slips.
- Burning Smell.
How does a self-adjusting clutch control cable work?
The self-adjusting clutch (SAC) uses a load sensor (sensor diaphragm spring) to activate its wear adjustment function by turning a ramp ring.
This wear-adjusting mechanism reduces the required actuation forces while increasing the service life of the clutch by around 1.5 times.
Do you need to adjust clutch cable?
Adjust the cable when the play at the lever gets too much so that you cannot fully disengage the clutch by pulling the lever, when you get close to running out of cable adjustment, adjust the clutch properly.
