Engine Stay Cable
Hi folks,
wondering if the M-38A1 has a clutch stay cable from the transmission cross member to the flywheel (bell) housing like the MB? I note there is provision for one on my cross member but no corresponding bracket on the flywheel housing plate. I could not find mention of such a cable in the master parts manual SNL G-758
Thanks
Ian

Re: Engine Stay Cable
The M38, M38A1 and M170 do indeed utilize an Engine Stay Cable. Unlike the MB/GPW, which has a bracket extending from the bell housing plate, these later vehicle's Engine Stay Cables use the lower bell housing bolt hole as the attachment point.

Re: Engine Stay Cable
I would suggest one nut on the cable side of gearbox and second nut on engine side locking the threaded part and then slight tension.

Re: Engine Stay Cable
Check the TM and the Parts manual for the nuts.
2 Each 3/8" Nuts with attached external tooth Lock Washers. You can use split lock washers tho.

Re: Engine Stay Cable
Picture shows clutch cable is also missing nut at adjusting yoke. The nut is needed to lock the clutch cable to the adjusting yoke.

Re: Engine Stay Cable
I may still have a couple of those special nuts w/ext tooth washers I can send if you are a purist. CJ-3B with late starter (used late Bellhousing with ame dimensions as M-38A1, there are minor cosmetic features on the Civ bellhousing that we do not have to mention.
I use these same nuts on Jeep Choke and Throttle cables.

Re: Engine Stay Cable
Hi Ian,
A little to late to answer but yup my 67 M38A1 has that cable as well....the exhaust pipe passes right by the rear stay/frame. Again, that's for all your help!
