1. For ease of subsequent installation, before removing the cable, measure the length of the free threaded part of the lower cable end (at the gearbox).
2. Moving the cable forward, remove its tip from the slot of the clutch release fork.
3. Remove the cable sheath damper from the bracket on the gearbox housing.
4. In the cabin under the instrument panel, disconnect the tip of the cable from the sector of the clutch pedal.
5. Remove the cable sheath from the stop in the bulkhead shield and remove the cable, pulling it out of the shield into the engine compartment.
6. Install the clutch release cable in the reverse order of removal.
7. After installing the new cable, perform the initial cable installation. Measure dimensions L and L1, respectively, between the end of the damper and the clutch release fork, as well as between the end of the damper and the tip of the cable. Dimensions L= (86±5) mm, L1= (60±5) mm. If the dimensions are not as specified, set them by turning the adjusting nut of the cable end with the lock nut loosened.
Note. As the lining of the clutch disc wears out during operation, the initial setting of the clutch release cable changes. In this case, the clutch pedal moves up, its full travel increases and the clutch is activated with a delay at the very end of the pedal travel. In this case, check and restore the initial installation of the cable with the adjusting nut on its threaded end.
8. Press the clutch pedal three times to the stop and re-measure the distances L and L1. Repeat the adjustment if necessary.
9. Make sure the release fork free end travel is between 28-33mm for the 1.4L engine clutch and 30-35mm for the 1.6L engine.
