When you change the cable change the U shaped clip at the pedal end and the cylindrical thingo with the hook on it at the throwout arm end. They will always go very soon after one another, so avoid getting stranded and replace them all regularly.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

Nope, new cable every year or so is good policy, a cable is the same cost as a tow but if you get a tow you still have to buy a cable.
