2003 Cadillac Cts 5speed - Clutch master cylinder - Milamees
Want to sell my car but first must figure out what the mechanic means when he says. The clutch cable won't stay on so it needs a pin? Also mentioned safety switch and lock. IF I buy clutch master cylinder, will this come with the little pins, bolts etc. needed to fix the problem. This is keeping the car from starting. Please help 2003 Cadillac cts 5 speed. Desperately need help... Thank you

Cars don't usually have a master cylinder and a cable, they are normally different systems, but then I am not familier with american cars.

Might be better to use another mechanic, most ones i know would have found a way to make some sort of makeshift pin stay put, or the indespensible cable tie, if indeed that is what is meant.

If you can't make head nor tail of what your mechanic means its even less likely for us third hand.

He did say they he could make something to stick in it and make it stay, but since it's going to cost me $300 to fix I said no, because I would rather not have shabby work done on it. I'm going to buy the parts online(cheaper than if he purchased them ) but 1st I'll show him a picture of the parts that he told me and go from there. thank you for taking time to respond :-)
