TROGDOR! Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 OK... so... I was at the yard pulling parts for my auto to 5sp D/R swap today, and I found something that surprised me... 4 cables?? I have a positive ID on three- the speedo, clutch, and hill holder cables. The fourth attaches to a firmly bolted on bracket on the left upper side of the trans, almost directly above the axle stub- and this bracket does not move AT ALL. I traced the cable and it goes into the firewall under and to the left of the brake booster. The donor car is an 89 GL coupe, nonturbo. Any ideas? I didn't end up getting the cable, so I sure hope it's not critical to this swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 Problem solved- It was the clutch cable. I didn't realize it snaked around before hitting the fork. I had already gotten a clutch cable from another car along with the pedal box, and I had just pulled the cable out of the fork on the donor trans. Then when the tranny dropped, the cable snagged on that bracket, and I assumed it was an extra cable I forgot to unhook.
