nipper Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 How old is your clutch cable? When does it squeek sepcifically. How old is the clutch nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Usually that's the nylon bushings on the pedal pivot wanting grease. But as long as you are down there might as well replace the cable too. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdeep2001 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 not sure how old the cable is, got the car a few months ago, started squeeking maybe 2 weeks ago. how hard is it to change the cable and what kind of grease should i use.

GeneralDisorder Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I wrote this for EA81's but the EA82 is similar - just easier on the pedal side: http://home.comcast.net/~trilinear/clutch.html GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Good rule of thumb is when you replace the clutch, replace the clutch cable too if so equiped. It may squuek for some time, but when it snaps, well, ive done it, but its a *************** driving a car that needs a clutch with no clutch. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly_cat Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Lithium grease in a spray can. close your eyes and blast all pedal hinges S/C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyewdall Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I wrote this for EA81's but the EA82 is similar - just easier on the pedal side: http://home.comcast.net/~trilinear/clutch.html GD I disagree. I've done both, and I think the EA81 is easier myself. A little less standing on my head under the dash But either isn't that bad, compared to a friend's volvo -- have to get it up on the lift to even find the clutch end of the cable underneath.

GeneralDisorder Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I disagree. I've done both, and I think the EA81 is easier myself. Having done all THREE (there's two types of EA81 cable mounts) multiple times, the EA82 is far easier on the pedal end. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdeep2001 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 anyone in the philadelphia/central jersey area want to help change my cable this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdeep2001 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 alright fine, ill do it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 the cable is straight forward to replace. the best advice i think i can give you isn't spefically instructions, but either take pictures or look very closely at how the cable is attached the pedal assembly. it's very simple and straight forward but it's also easy to go and put the new one on and say "how did that go again?". same with the nuts and rubber boots on the trans side. but really it's a very easy job to do, it's just a little intimidating the first time since it's new. once you're in there you'll be most annoyed if you have to do this outside.

mrdeep2001 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 yea i do have to do this outside, this week, so probably in the snow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 i guess do it with the car warm so you can blast the heat at your "feet" or hands in this case. start practicing standing on your head inside so you're good on the floorboard when it's cold out.
