just a thought but…have you tried to adjust the cable to the clutch? sometimes it becomes loose and it feels just like your cable broke. the cable can take alot of abuse before it breaks. leat me know.
the clutch cable install is about the same as the removal of the old one. take your time and watch what goes where. Also check the position (height) of the adjuster nut before you remove the cable so you will know the basic height to put it back at.
After checking things out in the daylight, changing the cabel ony took 30min wit no tools. I was lucky enough to find a place that could get me the part on a Saturday. Price $35
Still needs a little adjusting, or just getting used to. It feels totally different then befoere.
