 Does it seem like your Fiat or Alfa is going through clutch or accelerator cables at an alarming rate? Check to see if the cable in question is getting unusually hot after the engine has been running for a while. If so, it is probably the lack of a ground cable between the engine and the body which is causing the high failure rate.All Fiats, Alfas and Lancias should have a ground cable running from the body to the transmission bell housing. In the absence of this cable, the ground is effected through speedo or clutch cables, which aren't heavy enough for this task. They in turn overheat, become embrittled, and fail. - Mark Lee |
