Servicing - what needs doing, what is commonly missed?
Clutch cable adjustment is under a plastic cover under the gearbox. It might need some WD40 to free it up. Start saving for a new clutch though.

I didn't want to go far or do anything too hard until I had done a decent service on the car, then I could have confidence that the basics would be right.
But unlike Jimny Cricket, my conscience was not my guide, my guide was a Liar know as Gareth, who said he knew a couple of easy roads!!!
I know Grizedale pretty well, it's only 10 miles from home. But I have never considered taking a car up it before!!!
Fair to say, my Jimny handled more than I would have given it credit for, a very impressive little car.
And I now know how far I can push it if I ever need to. It was a great experience.
With the right love and affection, I can see me having years of fun with Vinny (see the reg no - my wife doesn't know the urban slang use haha).

So overall, a Low box will be gentle on the clutch and the brakes, and will increase you to use lower revs on the engine
Jalapeño, IISY?
