When should I change my clutch cable?
If the clutch pedal feels hard and resists being pressed down, the clutch pedal has gone bad. If you keep pressing the pedal, the cable is liable to break. If this happens, the clutch cable will need to be replaced by a professional mechanic as the pedal will not work until the cable is in good working condition again.
