Clutch Cable was created by Cocopolo
Last week i had to change for the 4th time in 6 years the clutch cable on my Jimny, as the left pedal movement was very hard and harsh ...
Did anyone of you found a trick to avoid the clutch cable become so rough after regular use in muddy tracks?
I tried the trick mentioned in this link, but it only delayed the problem of few weeks ...

I've had my Jimny now for 6yrs and never had to replace a clutch cable ...
Tip: Get your left foot off the pedal more!!

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I suspect you are using the £50 copy of the clutch cable, rather than the £100+ genuine Suzuki part.
Aftermarket stuff is usually cheaper for a reason
Also the cable is lined and doesn't need lubrication, extra grease tends to hold grit and work it into the outer cable.

I use always suzuki original spares ... as i learnt that they last much more than aftermarket ... but clutch cables (and sometimes rear wheel bearings) ... do not last long anyway...
... thanks for the advices ...

I replaced my OEM clutch cable with a genuine suzuki one about a month ago after it snapped - there was a 3 week as there werent any in any of the european warehouse stocks so one had to be sent for from Japan - total cost £56
