Thanks, all. I've been shopping for a new clutch cable, and I keep getting asked if I have the 1.6 liter or the 1.8. Is there any way to tell by looking at the car? The engine is an EA82.

what should i remember about the bushings, clips and routing? (sorry, i'm new at working on cars)

that was my next question! Roughly how long might it take to change it?

gotcha. thanks.

Hello, My Sub's clutch pedal is extremely difficult to push down. So much so, that my left leg is getting a workout every time I drive! This car has 150k on it and I don't think the clutch has ever been replaced. Is this the most likely problem or is it probably just the clutch cable that is sticky? thanks.

i changed the one by the pump, but not the other....you say it's right by the engine?

latest update: changed the spark plug wires and it started up and ran fine...for a miles around town. then it stalled again. i waited until the next morning, but it still would not hold an idle (which is the first time it's done this). put in a new fuel pump but to no avail. btw, the alternator was tested and is fine.

is there any chance this could be a problem with a sensor? does this model even have sensors?

this is my first post here. i recently bought this 4wd model (manual) from a friend. it has about 149k on it. i changed the dist. cap and rotor and oil as soon as i got it. it had been stalling when stopped at lights. it seemed to slightly improve but was still idling rough. the car ran fine for a couple of weeks--even took it out for a 4 hour trip one day without any problems. shortly after that, after running for a while, it started to act like it was running out of gas--lurching forward--and then stop completely. at this point it wouldn't hold an idle. it would have to sit overnight before i could drive it again. i changed the spark plugs, fuel filter and cleaned around the carb to no avail. my friend checked to make sure gas was coming into the carb. it was. i was able to use it to take short trips to the store, but one day the battery was totally dead--wouldn't charge up when jumped. could only jump it once and drive it. i replaced the battery, and it seemed to fix the lurching problem. apparently, the car was running mostly off the alternator (according to the battery guys). it's been great for the last 3 weeks...until today. after driving it for a few miles, the lurching problem came back and it's sitting on the side of the road. any idea what this problem might be? thanks.
