<VV> pulleys in tunnel

[N. Joseph Potts]

I think it is because a smaller pully will wear out faster, just like a
smaller (diameter) tire. Replacing a larger pulley with a smaller pulley
will shorten the cable's path, and will require adjustment (shortening) of
its length that may or may not be within the range of the mechanism's
adjustment capabilities.

Hi,
I would like to know about the pulleys for the emergency cable and clutch
cable in the tunnel under the car. Why is one pulley larger than the other?
Will it be harmful if I replaced the large pulley with a smaller diameter
pulley?
Thanks for any information.
