Clutch and Gear Cables
Hi, im looking at my clutch and gear change cables and i rekon there too long. Any chance owners with R1 engines and MNR supplied cables could measure
theres for me?
For the paddle shift is the push pull cable located on the left or right side?
The purlpe covered ones for the clutch and the blue for the gear change or other way round?
How have owners secured their paddleshift cables where the cable goes down to the bike gear change lever?
Thanks
Adam

hi
mine could be a bit too long too.
both mine are in purple sleeves.
the paddle shift cable is on my left side.
clutch cable is secured with a metal p-clip in 2 places in a big sweeping circle towards the front of the car the4n round.
the gear change comes through bulk head and up over engine and round and down to the lever mechanism. no clipping necessary.

gear change cable is the one with two rodends, should be correct length as they are all made the same, just to make sure let me know the length from
eye to eye of the rodend
gear cable goes to the left when sat in the car
cheers

Hi
Well the cables are;
Clutch - Purple/Browny very thick- 128.5cm end to end
Gear Change - Blue thin with rod ends 142cm end to end
heres a (Hightech and not to scale diagram of how i thought it should look please correct me if im wrong
Should the Gear change cable sit like this
This pic shows the cable fully pulled at the other end(up shift or + on paddleshift pulled up)
This pic shows it fully pushed back from the other end(down shift or- on the paddleshift pulled up)
Surely this would only allow me to pull for down shifts/ - as there is no room to pull for an upshift/ +?

Just a thought on the clutch cable, it is possible to apply a similar approach to the paddle shift (in terms of the way the cable ends are secured by
bracketry.) I saw the same arrangement on a car at Stoneleigh and copied it, It did require an expensive custom cable though. Probably not much
help if you've bought parts already but here you go:
Bracket mounted over lower forward engine mouont and short cable.

Hi, Tim is you clutch cable routed the same side as it looks like we would be pull ours the opposite side. Id like to keep the cables we've got
as already running a bit over budget.
Thanks

gear cable should go through to the left when sat in car and sweep round to the left hand side of scuttle area, you may need to remove some of the
threads on the cable to allow rod end on fully

Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of a linkage but i really wouldnt know where to start.
Had a go at it again this morning got the clutch cable is sorted but as it didnt come with a rod end i took one off the gear shift cable. Before
reading the post i shortened the cable for the gearshift and with out the rod end im making an ally bracket for it which may may not work lol.
Marc i wasnt quite sure on that last bit so when sitting in the car does the cable attach to the gear lever arm from the left or from the right like
in the picture above?
