Hill holding non-operating clutch: 86 Subaru DL


Recommended Posts

Greetings all! Was driving & thought the clutch cable was about to give up; however, on opening up the hood, inspecting the clutch cables, found there were not one but two cables. I am used to only one in old Subarus. This one has one cable adjusted tight, the other adjusted loose. I have not seen anything like it. When I tightened the loose cable, it caused the gears to grind. The cables themselves seemed to be in good condition, not needing replacement.

 

I don't have a manual and someone stole the reference copy out of our local library. I can't drive to any other library as I live in a remote mountain town and just have this one Subaru.

 

Q: Is a model with a HH clutch hydrolic or vacuum-assisted?

Q: Can anyone give me advise as to proper adjustment or,

locating the problem(s)?

 

thanks!

thanks for the response, I'm going to change the clutch cable,(it came with a spare) and if that doesn't do it, I'll be asking if anyone knows how to check for a broken or bent clutch fork. My little voice is telling me to ask about that next.
