Howdy, folks! I’ve got a '93 Nissan Sentra that needs the clutch cable replaced. Long story short, my mechanic has had the car for 5 months replacing part after part, and we’re tired of waiting. Now, he’s stuck, because he needs to see a picture of the cable to know exactly how it’s supposed to be positioned. I just want the car back, so I’m resorting to the internet to help solve this problem. Do any of you fantastic folks have any leads? TIA! ---

Your first priority is to find another mechanic. A shop should have access to such information. And unless the car was being restored on an ‘as time allows’ basis for 1/2 the going labor rate it should never sit for that long. ---

I would love to find another mechanic, however he’s doing this for free, no labor, and only charging for _some_ parts. So right now, my priority is to get the car moving so we can get it back. Thanks, though! ---

You need to find another mechanic. The clutch in your vehicle is operated hydraulically. There is no clutch cable. I looked it up, so you didn’t have to. Tester ---

Can you cite your source, please? All the research I did earlier when the problems first began (assuming it was hydraulic to begin with), seemed to indicate that I was not dealing with a hydraulic clutch. This was from looking in Chilton’s and Haynes, as well as online.
