Re: Clutch cable (again) was: RE: [ST] Intro



The clutch cable broke on my RS last week.(4k). Dealer covered it under
warranty no questions asked. They told me the
new cable was a change up part and the problem with the cables was fixed. I
was wondering if anyone has had repeat
clutch cable failures. I think I,m going to buy a spare just in case, sucks
to be stuck on the side of the road.
