I have a Ford Sierra (1991) 2.0i 5-door petrol hatchback. Ever since I bought this car, the clutch cable has snapped on an annual basis (four thus far!). I suspect there is something wrong with the pedal assembly, but can't trace it yet. Anyway, I have literally just fitted another clutch cable. The inner at the fatter end of the outer (round plastic "tube") passes through the bulkhead in the engine compartment and will hopefully appear near the clutch pedal (facilitate this by pushing the inner though the outer from the other end), and you can then locate it over the slotted pedal assembly and locate the terminated piece in its appropriate slot. The other end of the cable is somewhat more fiddly. You pass it through the "keeper" hole a few inches from the clutch arm, get a friend to hold the clutch pedal up as far as it will go and pull the inner until you can pop it through the larger part of the hole in the clutch lever and down into the slotted piece (so it doesn't slip out!). This can take quite an effort and you may need a pair of pliers to pull the cable to the right length. Once in, pump the pedal a few times and then start the car and see if it goes into gear okay. Be warned that the clutcjh cables are becoming rarer (Halfords no longer stock them) -I have bought two this time!

To fit a clutch cable to a Ford Transit van, first, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported if necessary. Remove the old cable by disconnecting it from the clutch pedal and the clutch release mechanism at the gearbox. Install the new cable by threading it through the appropriate guides and securing it to the clutch pedal and gearbox. Finally, adjust the cable tension as needed and test the clutch operation before lowering the vehicle.
