tookmy car camping yesterday and had no drama at all, camping wheelin and the likes.
dropped over the old mans place picked up an empty trailer got 700m when i started crunching gears.
got the car home adjusted the clutch and everything ran fine for about ten km then same problem.
symptoms: loss of gears, unless driving clutchless.
: clutch does not slip
after adjustment clutch seems to work fine
when fault occurs clutch feels like it needs adjustment again.
cable does not appear to have snapped
question: are there any other possible causes than the clutch cable ie firewall flex?
If it is the cable where is the best place to get one?
i need the car running and will be getting stuck into it tomorrow, just after some tips from thoose in the know to give me a head start.

It's possible the firewall is tearing around where the clutch cable comes through

check the firewall where the cable mounts for cracks

you can check where it connect to the pedal but you can almost be sure the cable has shit itself where it bends around the bottom radiator hose

there is a dude sells em on ebay with heaps of other Suzuki stuff, could be a place to try, last one I paid a lot more for from an online Suzuki supplier had plastic mounts and looked pretty cheap so may as well pay cheap for em
