sregor13 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 We recently replaced the Clutch on our 4WD Wagon. The clutch cable is frayed and looks like it is about to snap. I would like to take the hill holder out of the picture entirely. I think I can just remove the Hill Holder Cable from the Rocker Arm Assembly and be done with it. Has anyone done this?

Turbone Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 You can do it, but you need to install a spring for the clutch fork return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sregor13 Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Wow! Does not seem worth it if thats the case. Plus comes in handy when in San Francisco. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBrumby Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 noy werth it? all it take is a couple of holes (if they werenot there in the first place) and 10 seconds to attach the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sregor13 Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 just take off the hill holder cable, and thats it Thats what I thought, after messing around with it and learning how it worked it seemed as though I could just take it off and be done with it.

Turbone Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Theres a spring on the HH mechanism that acts as a return spring for the clutch fork. If you dont want it sticking to the floor, you may want to put a spring on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check his wifes car to see if he put a spring in. If not then I will put one in her 85 as well as mine. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I'm with Miles, Remove short HH cable, let the spring do it's thing and be done with it forever!!! I took mine off in 1986 Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer--no HH!!!! 01 Forester--no HH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subie94 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 i took mine off yesterday an now it seems that the car drives somewhat better,thinking the HH was sticking a little.the way i look at it,if you need the HH to help you out.then you need to either practice alot more or get a automatic.:-p oh btw,took mine off on a 94 ej-22 that has the return spring for the clutch on the pedal itself(which i also had to replace awhile back.)

MorganM Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I just unhooked it from the throw out fork. It returns just fine still. It does feel a lot 'softer' when I push on the clutch pedal however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sregor13 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 I was reluctant to teach my nephew how to drive a manual with that Hill Holder. I want him to know how it really is to be on a steep hill and need to use the clutch and gas to keep you steady. of course there is always the impromtu Hill Holder called the E-Brake. Either way I am concerned about it sticking just a tad because the adjustment is kinda touchy. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieroo Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I just put an engine in Saturday and never even gave it a second thogth about NOT hooking up the hill holder. Works great with out it. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
