Hello!

I was just about to order a new clutch cable, but thought I would make sure here that it was the clutch cable, and not the clutch. The bite is quite low, and there seems to be alot of play at the top of the pedal. It also requires a bit of force to get it in to gear sometimes, not all the time, but quite often, it doesn't crunch, but it does require a little force. The clutch was a bit sticky, but a bit of grease seems to have sorted this out!

One more thing, If i press the clutch in, and then flick it out quickly, the play goes until I press it in again without flicking it out, and then it goes back to having play.

Also, would worn engine and gearbox mounts make it tricky to get in to gear when moving?

Just thought I would ask here and see what was actually wrong!

Thanks,

Sam

It's nothing to do with the clutch cable at all. It's the bushes in the clutch arm that need coming out and greasing.

I had my clutch replaced about 2 months ago and greased the bushes with no cable replacement and it's nice and light

Have a go at fooling the self adjuster. Get an assistant to lever the clutch arm on the box forward a bit while you operate the clutch pedal.
Sometimes the self adjuster needs a little 'help' to adjust up.
