Changing the Clutch Cable.wmv

[@jimstrickland5019]

Hey man, great video! Working on a 69 beetle and this was one of my concerns. I do have the body off which will help in this process. Thanks for taking the time to post.

I always found that wrapping electrical plastic tape around the cable end to make sure clutch cable doesn't fall off the hook on the peddle helps ....

Thank you I just bought a VW Rail Buggy had it a day and broke the cable. This helped

[@mschiffel1000]

that looks like a fun job changing the clutch cable...not too hard...just awkward positions to get into.

Great idea about using a chord to maintain the pedal in place while installing the cable!

Raymond Lohengrin I really couldn't think of another way to do it by myself.

SteelDragon VW I have a 1971 Super Beetle and replaced the driver's panel. I had to reinstall and adjust the metal plate stopper in front of the pedals and it was not easy having to hold all three pedals while doing the job! I used a brick to hold them in place, I think your idea of the chord is better :-)

Thanks

thanks I was shown that by a friend trying, he said he had tried many different ways and that was the easiest

[@lorealakey8483]

this video was very helpfull thanks

[@mysteeldragon]

Not a problem, it would be so much easier with the body off, thanks for watching.

[@mysteeldragon]

Thanks for watching I hope if you had to do this it helped. It's not that hard but it is messy.

my clutch cable is starting to break at the end where the part that hooks on the pedal cluster i was wonder if i can repair that with a coupler and eye bolt as i have to drill a hole in the coupler and pass the cable end through it and tighten the eye bolt on the cable if this will work as i never done this type of repair before its on a 1968 vw beetle with a swingaxle transmission. the rest of the cable is in good shape as its just at that end.

Would it be the same on my 63 VW bug ?

[@mysteeldragon]

as far as I know this part of the VW Beetle didn't change very much. I haven't had on that early though.

[@derekobidowski7574]

i have to also mention the hook on the end of the clutch pedal shaft can break as its worn out as i had mine break and welded it back on as i can't get the pedal off the shaft its stuck on there. these new pedal clusters not sure how great they are the EMPI one as far as i know its made in China.

Very helpful. You need to work on your lighting and camera operating skills.
