so as i mentioned in some other posts was driving up sydney road and my clutch cable broke last weekend. i was lucky in the sense that it broke as i took of from a set of lights and i had enough momentum to roll into the nearest servo. puhed it into a park there and called my mate to come get us (the gf and i were on our way to help him move house) i was very lucky it broke where it did as it could have let go on the ringroad or the hume. left it at the servo for the day, and in late afternoon went bac to get it. i was very lucky that the servo id been able to roll into also just happened to have a car trailer for hire as well. my mates car is a tiny little proton jumbuck ute, with very bald, probably unroadwrthy tires. it had been raining all day. the road was slick and the little jumback spun a taking off at the lights even with a slow release of the clutch, with the weight of car and huge car trailer in tow. there is a large (not especially challenging) hill on bell street which is the main, easiest way to get form the servo i was at to where we needed to be.i was pretty worried as there are two sets of light before the hill, one at the base. given i was having trouble getting of the line on the flat with the little jumbuck, i was shit scared of catching the light at the bottom, knowing full well if we didnt get a run up, we would be stuck at the bottom of the hill, in busy traffic, tyres spinning, going nowhere. as it turned out we caught the first light so i started speeding up, and as we were coming up to light at the bottom of the hill, it changed to green, so i booted it (so accelerated at snails pace) and got a bit of momentum up before we hit the hill, dropped back to second just near the peak, and made it. the rest was rather smooth. rolled it off and with help of my mate and the girls got her safely in my mates garage. as you can see by photos i took since, she really does need a new cable.
