Be sure to check and see if the cable end isn't about to wear through
the pedal metal itself. I've replaced one like this. A little more wear,
and the clutch would have suddenly engaged and stayed that way!

Okay list
SOMEONE must have experienced this problem.  My clutch pedal squeaks
very annoyingly every time I change gear.  I have tried squirting all
sorts of lubricants from the footwell, but it is a pretty inaccessible
place back there.  Some things reduce the squeak for a while but then it
comes back, especially in the cold.

Does anyone know any tips or a simple way to access the pedal axis I may
have overlooked (i.e. without removing the dash)? TIA Michael 1981 Westy
