Yes looks OK.

The difference is the big O in the end of the release arm where the end of the cable fits. The 'other' type has a big H bracket around it. If the release arm looks the same as yours then it is, there's only two types and they look quite different.

I believe though, that the release arms and bracketry can be swapped between 'boxes; the castings being the same and all the tapped bosses and etc. will be there to fit what you need.

The 'box is the picture is certainly nice and oil-tight

That's a thought

You are probably quite right too. I was thinking it would be best to do a like for like, but I guess you can swap the arm / fork assembly too.

As jackel will be using the correct clutch for the release setup, should be fine.

Looks good

I'm not sure what your jubilee clip cable 'extension' is doing though, but if it works

lol yeh it was already on the cable

Post by **CitroJim** » 14 Mar 2011, 18:40

Well done, excellent

That jubilee clip looks like a bit of a problem waiting to happen to me. I wonder if the wrong clutch cable has been fitted?

The 'effect' of that usually is to give you a 'shorter' cable as far as I can tell.

I thought about a worn out clutch causing it but then again that's been looked at while the box was off.

I do remember something like this on a 205, cannot remember but they kept 'adjusting' it till it went through the fingers

what should be there?, just that rubber

spider · Post by **spider** » 14 Mar 2011, 20:40

Yes, a piece of rubber each side of the arm, the cable has the washer etc built into it as you can see. I think a plastic spacer (the size of the hole in the arm) too should be there.

The manual cable looks almost the same but instead of that rivet at the end it has a thread.

should show a TD auto adjust and manual adjust cable side by side.
