I would say it is a BE3 as it looks like it has the plastic hook that clips over clutch pedal. BE1 has a metal end that accepts the pin and clip that goes through the clutch pedal.

It can be BE1 and BE3, don;t forget this is the 405 here and they all used the BE3 clutch arm as such

Gearbox end looks BE1 to me, the BE3 cable I have somewhere has a squared off gearbox bung (the black one by your fingers).

 

Pedal end has an adaptor that clips on to the cable & then hooks onto the pedal.

 

I'll look for mine (Be3) & post a picture later if I find it. (got a feeling I threw it out a few months ago).

yep be3, you can see the cut outs where the cable end slots into the gearbox housing.

I would still say it is a BE3 from the second picture as well.

See attatched picture of the Be3 cable I took off my 405 donor. :huh:

 

Gearbox end outer cable end is round & not slightly squared as I thought.

Thanks Graham, I think I might be ok because I went out and checked the clutch end and that's the same and the other end in your pic there looks the same, albeit white instead of black.

 

Should I hang the new cable up for a few days and drain some thick oil into the cable?

Like Miles says...the 405 ALWAYS has the BE3 lever..even if it is a BE1 box (see Mi16 boxes).

Are we sure all had the Be3 type arrangement?

 

Parts cd says otherwise.;)

its the 405 mi16 boxes that all have the be3 clutch setup, not all 405s.

Oh right, they've just not indicated that on the parts CD then.

Mine has the "be3" style arm on the BE1 gearbox as its a nicer actuation (ie its not stiff and short travel so doesn't snap cables).

that pic from the parts cd must be for an sri gearbox or something.

yes..sorry I should've mentioned Mi16 as it's the only 405 I know personally.

Parts cd doesn't differentiate, just says BE1 CLUTCH ON BALL JOINT CONTROL or BE1 CLUTCH ON AXLE CONTROL (the later is the Be3 style arm).

Thought I should update this.

 

The cable fitted fine.

Clutch is lighter and the judder has gone. Oh and easier to get in and out of gears. Definitely worth doing if you're clutch cable is 5 years old like mine was.
