Has anyone got, used or know of a clutch cable with something other than the plastic end on the pedal end? I have a heavy clutch and yesterday it just snapped the end off when I put the clutch down.

It may be a one off, but I can't afford to risk it happening again.. so is thee anything like that made of metal? Or would that have to be home made..? I can't fit an earlier cable as is need to swap the pedal too.

This is for use in a 306 but with a push clutch, so using a 205/ZX cable.

Just checking if there was anything really. I know they all seem to be plastic but had hoped i might have missed a modified one somewhere along the line!

Just cost me best part of 300 quids worth of fun, so don't want it to be a regular thing!

Yeah, the cable itself snapping has happened a fair few times but the actual plastic clip snapping isn't a common occurance.

when i did my clutch (my white nylon bush snapped, not the cable) i thought about knocking a little metal sleeve up and putting it inside the plastic clip but i guess it's still going to add stress to the plastic clip anyway. unless it was completely metal or solid i can't see how it'd prolong the life of it. i've took loads of old cables out and the white bushes have still looked ok. bad luck i guess

I guess it isnt a common issue then. Although with the cable having only been used for about 300 miles, its not exactly reassuring! haha.

Anyway, i think i am going to make an exact replica of the platic clip out of steel, and attach that to the cable in place of the broken plastic piece.

check the thread i opened about the clutch cable, with my helix clutch
