Clutch Cable Replacement 1986 740 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be JonG on  Sun Sep 25 11:19 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My transmission has been getting very difficult to shift (especially into first or reverse) and the old clutch cable is adjusted as far as it will go. Figuring that the old cable was stretched too far, I bought a new cable ( a COFLE 093-0495 from Bap Geon) and replaced the cable... To my surprise, this cable would not adjust enough to get even as much tension as the old one. The COFLE cable is marked as a replacement for 240, 260, and 740 series -- is it possible that this is the wrong cable and that I should get a Volvo (Gemo?) cable from a Volvo dealer? On different parts sites I am seeing different part numbers for 240's than 740'S.

....Or is this symptomatic of some other problem?

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Jon G
