Pasquali Tractor Clutch Mod

That is the "classic" failure of a multi strand cable when the termination does not pivot.

The termination acts as a lever bending the cable back and forth right at the trasition between cable and termination.

The pivot needs LUBE! and a cover to hold the lube in and keep the dirt out

You don't have a cable problem, you have a lubrication problem.

Hello OK thanks for the info. That makes me feel good that it's an easy solution. I can grease it the problem I think is how to provide a cover for the area. I'll start with lube and pay attention to it.

Phil,

CalG described perfectly what looks like is going on here.

Cable wise your 988 is assembled just the opposite of my 997. This is possible because your clutch pedal cable pivot point is a half pipe with a slot at the top to allow for pivoting of the terminal. This of course is where grease would be needed.

I believe if a heavier wire rope were used, it would adversely affect the pedal effort/feel.

So I made another clutch cable and put it together and greased the cable and the pivot point. Working fine now, hopefully it lasts for a long while with grease on it.

I did unfortunately discover another problem, will start a new thread for that....

Thanks all
