ABSTRACT:
An engine clutch control mechanism which incorportes a flexible remote control cable comprising a core (1) which is axially displaceable within a conduit (2), is provided with a self-adjustment means for compensating for clutch wear. The self-adjustment means comprises a conduit-anchoring device (14) for anchoring the conduit (2) to an abutment (5) held by a fixture (4). When the conduit-anchoring device is in its operative position it makes tooth engagement with the conduit. The conduit-anchoring device is connected to the core (1) via a yielding coupling (12) so that the said device (14) is displaced into conduit-engaging position by force transmitted to it from the core during an initial part of the operative stroke of the core. Following anchorage of the conduit to the abutment (5) the operative stroke of the core continues to completion. On the return stroke the conduit anchorage becomes released to allow the conduit end to move relative to the abutment under any residual force exerted by the clutch return spring when the clutch pedal has reached the limit of its movement.
