Can I replace the self-adjusting clutch cable with a manually adjustable version??
My Bentley's manual(VG92) talks about both, but states "The two cables are not interchangable."
What say the gurus?????

Re: Manually Adjustable Clutch Cable Substitution
Now that I've fiddled with the automatic cable and learned how to reset it, I think I'll stick with it. I'm only concerned that the nylon at the pedal end will wear through. I'll have to take a look at that. Auto is about $50, manual about $15.......so if it breaks, or is about to, I will go manual.
