Technical Cinq Sport 1.1 Clutch Cable

[pete.guinness]

ive been searching the net for a break down on how to fit a new clutch cable on my Cinq. As it broke last nyt pullin from my drive.
I can find the 899 breakdown posted by "jamieboy" is it like for like or is it different?

Cheers if any1 can post info.

yeah no real difference IIRC
its not hard,just need nimble fingers working in the footwell/bulkhead

cheers buddy...i only just had it MOTd aswel...i had to change the offside bottom arm, back box and mess with the cv joints....
took it out for a couple of hours and the cable goes...just my luck
ahh well....hopin it stays dry so i can change it 2day

 

[custard]

if you did all that you will be fine

Be warned though. Usually clutch cable failure is a sign that the clutch has entered the death zone..............

eh wasn't 2 bad actually....took me bout 30 mins to do....after i saw the cable and looked around the car a lil its quite easy to work out how it goes....

the hardest part was tryin to get comfy at the passenger side

Cheers

Yup, that just about sums it up.

I either take the seat out, or if dry, sit on the ground with me legs under the open door.

However, now I have a Cortina clutch cable i no longer have to think about guddling about in the passenger footwell.

Spot on. I think Ming has seen two master cylinders under the bonnet and forgotten I have a bias braking system.

The clutch is cable, using an Escort pedal and a Cortina Cable.
