The hole in the firewall, along with the rubber grommet, appear to barely be large enough for the hold down nut to go through alone. How do I slide out the old wire and nut without removing the hydraulic clutch hose first? There has to be an easier way. Or should I just drill another hole in the firewall and route just the oil temp gauge wire through it?

There doesn't look like there is enough room to slide out the old cable and nut through the firewall hole while the other two cables are still there.

I know there has to be an easier way to remove and install the new wire.

Or am I just misjudging the size of the hole?
Jim - Not sure about the install, but the oil temp gauge should be covered under warranty. Did you buy your car from Hillbank? They should provide a replacement at no charge.
