Clutch Cable

Recommended Posts

Hi, my clutch cable just snapped.

 

Where can I buy a new one ?

 

Do dealers stock them?

 

XU5JA Engine.

Motor factors

 

Dealers now sell "first line" brand as they've run out (certainly of be1) so you're not going to get Peugeot anyway

If there's a motor factor you trust-just use them

 

Ps when you're in a hurry-no buggers got one!!!

your local Motorfactor would still be able to get you one, you will have a BE1 box and a Clevis pin attachment on the pedal end if your car is unmodified.

here you go, looks like one of these.

I believe that will do the trick, take yours off and compare it.

 

Many thanks.

 

I believe my car has a BE3 gearbox. Could that be right ? Reverse is top left.

 

Would it be this part for the BE3 gearbox :-

Are they easy enough to fit yourself or is it best for a garage to do ?

 

I have adjusted mine before, so know where it fits to.

If reverse is top left by first with a lift up collar you have a BE1 gearbox.

I had thought it was a BE3 gearbox, but it sounds like it is a BE1.

I am sure you guys know what you are talking about.

Hopefully I should be able to get this sorted now.

Many thanks for all the responses. It really is appreciated.

BE1 cables are pretty cheap on eBay, I think there's a motaquip one on there for a fiver at the moment. (New old stock)

Don't forget about the pin that rests in the lever arm...

Also, there is usually a reason for the cable snapping and you may find that your clutch requires replacing.

The garage had to order in 3 different cables to get the right one.

In the end, they said it was First Line Part No. FKC1103 that was needed.

Strangely enough - Amazon says it is the wrong part for my car !

Many thanks for everyone's help.
