Clutch lever end or actuator end? Isn't that cable end inside the trans? So that is lubed and down in the hoop of the cable, yes?

What happens if I take my cable off my lever, lay it on the floor until oil comes out and I'm lubed up and down the cable. Let me ask you something? You don't take a lot of showers with your BD and rust the cabl... Never mind.

If I looked at that cable on the ground, we have any kinks in that lacing thru the frame and up to the lever? I should be able to install and remove a flat cable that will lay on the ground all straight, right? You have the curve is so arched that it drags the inner cable all the way thru this drag or just a slight curve?

You are not coming across with too much info so are we with car springs in the clutch basket? How about stock parts, we running stock springs? How about that wave looking pressure plate? You have one of those, that if we went looking at the plate, we could have soup in it?

Lube?
Kinks?
Springs?
Waving who's pressure plate?

Clutch Cable

2 things are generally the culprit
Lack of quality lubricant in the cable
Lack of a quality cable

I ask you, where else could you get better and quicker answers?

Get a HD one from Curtis and make sure you lube it.

thanks guys,do lube them use barnett cables,do love my dog but dont shower with it lol.all stock srings and clutch.anyone know part number and lenght think it was 64 but not sure

Bobby,
Call Barnett. Say what length you want, mail them the old one with both ends, remember. Say you want an inch or half an inch added or removed... No problem. I think they offer that service?
The more that cable makes a C curve, the less drag on the inner cable.

I got one from Curtis very HD and a good price. Haven't used it yet but it's there when I need it.

I see how you can lube the bottom ramp assembly end with grease but other than spraying wd-40 or liquid silicone down from the lever, how are you lubing the cable?

I use Dri-Slide for my cables. You can find this just about anywhere but here is a link to eBay.

Are you still applying it from the clutch lever? Or are you applying it when you do clutch cable adjustment?

Just a couple sprays in both the clutch lever and the adjustment every time I change the oil.
