G'day Has anyone done a clutch cable to hydraulic conversion on a 94 Vitara? Is it worth doing? Failing that is it better to go genuine or aftermarket on the cable? |

there isnt the room and you wont get a slave cylinder with enough stroke (I looked into it a while ago) I modded mine to take a reinforced cable from a sierra (suzistore sell em for $55) genuine and non genuine vit cables are the same |

what year is yours? if you have the type that bolts to a bracket on the block you may need no mods, mines the later one with the stupid rubber bung holding it in jsut get the cable bracket off a sierra and drill new holes in it so it fits on the right place on the block (one hole pokes off the edge a bit) and stick it on and adjsut it up, it all fits on the pedal and firewall fine |

yeah mine was doing that with teh original cable, then an aftermarket vit cable(eventually failed and split the outer) then a genuine vit one (same failure) then a second hand sierra one then the one I have now, the outer is like a big springwrapped around it and has been fine for 14 months, after I took the stupid heavy duty clutch out and fitted a normal one If you have a standard clutch you are probably ok with a vit cable from suziwest, I only went through all that trying to get it to work with the heavy duty clutch they get hot where it clips to teh bottom radiator hose, I insulated mine there as well |

I had to replace my clutch cable like 2 days ago week.. :O it snapped in the middle of nowhere at like 9:30 at night - no phone reception or help hahah! Had to drive it back with no clutch - finally got it moving and made it home an hour and a half later... hahah But yeh i ended up getting mine from Veale's since it was cheaper for me looks exactly the same as that one from suzistore but make sure u get the right one for ur car there is 2 types one with 2 bolts on the end and one with the round thing(on the right side of the pic in that link - its the end that attaches to the clutch arms underneath ur car - have a look what type u got first and it will save u some messign around //Lee |
