Thanks for the pointers Mike...

The cables are snapping in one go. The pivot is well greased and we checked to make sure that the cable is being pulled straight - we reinforced the fork as an extra precaution for this.

I have a Sachs style clutch. Ill check to make sure that there is no radial movement in the fork.

One other thing I should mention - with at least one of the cables that I removed, the cable sheath was very hard and 'creaked' if I bent it. I dont know if this is natural aging or not but for a while I thought that maybe there was a current travelling up the cable, causing the sheath to harden and in turn causing wear on the cable. However the grounding straps between the gearbox and body and starter and body exist so that cancels that theory.

cheers
