  Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Clutch Cable on Dodge Neon?

  A:

  Before working on the clutch cable, disconnect both the battery cables, remove the battery clamp and then take out the battery. After that, remove the battery tray from the mount bracket and the bellhousing cover. Take the clutch cable out of the transaxle housing and release lever and next take it out of the clutch pedal spacer. Avoid touching the clutch cable assembly, so you don't disturb the adjuster mechanism, making it harder to put back. Steer the cable through the bore in the pedal assembly and then unhook it from the vehicle. Before installation, insert the part of the cable that goes in the clutch pedal and link it to the spacer installed under the clutch pedal. Pull the release lever end of the cable until it is taut, then push the clutch cable housing toward the dash; this should move between 30 and 50 mm with pressing pressure under 25 lbs. Should the object remain still, this could mean the installation is off or it's broken, so investigate those causes first. Connect the end of the cable to the clutch release lever which is part of the transaxle housing. After that, put back the cap for the bellhousing, the battery tray, the battery and the hold-down clamp and finally reattach both battery cables. Always check that the clutch cable is in correct working order.

  Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Clutch Cable on Dodge Stratus?

  A:

  The first step is to take out the Power Distribution Center and then to lift the clutch cable cover. With the clutch cable still attached to the clutch, pull it back toward yourself to release it and then guide it back through the slot in the transaxle until it's freed from the release lever. After that, detach the clutch cable up-stop/spacer from the clutch cable connected to the pedal by pressing the pedal. Insert a flat-blade pry tool into the retaining tab at the top of the clutch pedal, but first detach it from the pin by separating the two using the pry tool while you take off the pedal spacer. Make sure you don't pull up the clutch cable too strong because you could break the cable self-adjuster. Gently twist the cable from the dash panel and clutch bracket and remove it. While installing, place the end of the clutch cable with the self-adjuster through the whole in the dash panel into the bracket, with the round cable grommet sitting securely on the panel and the self-adjuster making full contact with the bracket. Put the clutch cable on the up-stop/spacer after and next link it to the clutch pedal. The Adjuster Mechanism should turn correctly if you draw the clutch release lever to make the cable tight and push the housing toward the dashboard with up to 25 lbs. of force. If everything works properly, run the cable through the transaxle's opening and attach it to the lever with the washer in place on the lever tips. Then, slide the clutch cable housing back to remove it. Insert the cable housing into the transaxle, reinstall the cover over the cable and check the switch on the clutch pedal position.
