Thanks Royce. Now that I have some actual reasons for them snapping, I know what to look out for
Fatzook, any idea why there was so much pressure on your cable?
Did you have it routed through the engine bay as per factory? Any tight turns that may affect the movement of the cable inside the sheath?
Any crap or corrosion on the GB input shaft affecting the movement of the clutch release bearing?
cable was in OEM location. All parts were in servicable condition. The replacement cable was genuine ( couldn't find a non-gen cable at the time). I gave up rather than look into it any further.
