The cable being worn and the adjuster within it being seized through heat is probably the reason why you now have a "low bite" after fitting the new clutch.  New cable will sort it.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Sweet, ill get one ordered, be fine as it is driving for a few days though right? Doesn't slip or anything so it's more of an inconvenience than a risk of wearing the clutch? |

It won't wear the clutch as long as it's not slipping no. Once you fit the new one there will be a world of difference though.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

thats the fugger, mind it doesn't twat you in the face on the way off.having a knackered cable could damage the clutch, as it may not allow full disengagement and could drag, also wearing the synchro hubs. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

A few have taken it off, I personally have kept mine on. As Mei says, it was supposedly a Peugeot recall although mine never had it done.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

(Which the cable should do anyway....). I'm a bit confused as to what it's for really. My gti has one but my old car didn't! |

It's the adjuster in the cable which affects the biting point as I stated. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I've also just noticed, my blower isn't working now. Is there anything around the box I may have disturbed or unplugged related to this? |
