Gunky Clutch Cable

Got my car fixed. And the bill wasn’t too painful, which is always a bonus. That little bracket I mentioned was what connected my clutch pedal to the clutch cable to the . . . wait for it . . . clutch! A “few” dollars later and I’m driving again. My old clutch cable was all gunky (technical term) and hard to move back and forth. The new cable is clean and smooth, so I don’t have to push as hard now to shift. My left leg will start to atrophy sometime soon. Bad news is that my clutch is nearing the end of its life. But still, 145,000 miles on the original clutch cable, and I believe it’s the original clutch, too. Those parts have served their time well.
