My 4 month old Gemo clutch cable snapped clean at the metal piece that hooks onto the top of the pedal. I only had to tow it a few blocks which was lucky. But I'm confused because on my 86 there is a weight holding the cable to the fork. Either that weight is now lost ( went looking for it) or it only requires the washer and small square rubber piece. I can't recall what it needs exactly. Hopefully the weight is not lost.
Also with that I found my firewall which was fine 4 months ago cracked and bent an inch or more. I know of a welder that hopefully can get it fixed before a new cable arrives. But I'm wondering if I need to do anything special for it other than just have it welded. Welder will most likely have some solutions but just wanted to hear from the experienced.
I just added a spring to the clutch fork and wondering if the extra pressure on the pedal caused the break. This is my second clutch cable this year to break at that spot except this one snapped clean rather than frayed. I just thought the cable kept loosening. Thanks.
