Clutch cable tension spring ... AMC gearbox

Post by Taid »

Should there be a spring round the end of the clutch cable where it enters the gearbox to take up the slack in the cable when the clutch lever is pulled?

I have a feeling I removed such a spring when dismantling to investigate the stiff kick start, but I can't find it (if I did) nor can I locate anything in the spares list ..

Thanks .

I've not seen one... Just leave a tad of slack on the cable which gets taken up when the lever is pulled

Simple answer, not originally and should not be required.
