Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the old cable by loosening the mounting clamps and carefully detaching it from the clutch lever and release mechanism.
2. Alignment: Position the new ABS K21400 cable so that its markings align with the vehicle’s reference points. Ensure the cable runs straight without kinks or excessive bends.
3. Securing: Tighten the mounting clamps to the specified torque value (consult the vehicle service manual). Verify that the cable is firmly seated in both the lever and release mechanism.
4. Tension Adjustment: Use a tension gauge or follow the manufacturer’s procedure to set the correct cable tension. This step is critical for proper clutch engagement.
5. Testing: Operate the clutch pedal through several cycles, checking for smooth action and confirming that gear changes occur without hesitation.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of fraying or corrosion. Replace immediately if any damage is observed.
• Avoid over‑tightening clamps, which can stress the cable and lead to premature failure.
• Keep the cable clean from dirt and debris; use a mild solvent if necessary.
