1 week ago I just asked for a clutch cable at the canadian pif paf, and then, I came back home, installed it, and then, it was too long. SO I go back to change it, and then the guy just said, try the 8cyl clutch cable. So I go back home with the 8cyl clutch cable, installed it, and this time, guess what? it was too short... Damn, I'm tired..

So, what clutch cable should I try this time???

He gave you the 4cyl clutch cable and it doesnt fit ?
Did you double-check the part number with him ?

a: it is called Crappy tire

b: Canadian/Crappy Tire sucks from coast to coast

C: the Canadian tire in montreal near the airport sucks donkey dick (especially the service manager Jacque) he took the automotive dept 3 days to fix my buddy's 240sx which was a 30 minute job so we had to stay in the city for 3 days more than we wanted.

Clutch cable



The donkey thing had me on the floor.

Anyway - regardless of its a 6 or 8 cyl the clutch cable is the same. I'm not too certain about the 4 cyl however i'm pretty sure it used a T5 so it would use the same cable.

Cheers!

oh ok

I bought my clutch cable at pif paf and it went in fine.

Do you have a bellhousing from a 2.3T or a plain 2.3? I doubt there would be a difference but if you have a bellhousing from a 2.3T, order a 2.3T cable...

And yeah Canadian pif paf can suck a lot!

It is the same, sorry for the french word, but I don't even know how to spell it in english so... do you have some "lousse" when you press on your clucth pedal?
