It appears that my clutch cable just snapped, as I was heading to a job briefing. Coasted into a parking spot at the briefing place. Dead pedal, and I can pull on the end where it exits the front side of the lever on top of the transmission. Waiting on a change of clothes and tools to arrive. Joy.

I'm assuming of course. Will know for sure once I pull it.

Kinda like what happened to me a couple months ago. Except it was the clutch arm that came off instead of the cable snapping. Good luck with it skate.

They're super easy to replace. Hardest part is hooking the end up to the clutch pedal. Hope you're as flexible as I am...

Glenn says take out the driver's seat. More room.

I second the taking out of the drivers seat! A second set of hands helps too, although it can be done solo.

You'll need a flashlight and a real long needle nose plier and it's a snap. If you have someone to help you have them hold the clutch end of the cable pushed in to give you slack on the inside. I take the seat out also.

I had a clutch cable snap in rush hour traffic in Phoenix while I was in the middle lane. Made it safely off the main road and waited for a hook. Wasn't a Metro, but it was just as inconvenient.
