Robin rider hows it doing  Try refitting the clutch cable or just fitting a new one they tend to rust a little at the bulk head the cable cuts into the rubber shroud also causing it to grip n get heavy the angle as it comes through the bulk head is crap and hard to fit correctly causing this issue fairly commonly Try a dura cable if you dont want to pay out for a oem there around £20 see the fitting guide tie a cord around the white clip etc should take around half hour once jacked up Easier to do on ramps I also grease mine at the pedal hole spray down the wire into the sheath and work it in it helps Can operate my clutch with my fingertips genuinely ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

any history of replacement?probably needs one by now as the springs seem to stiffen up with age, the bushes wear and shafts rust. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Biting point is it low or high ??? Check that the black plastic fitting is sitting correctly in the gearbox fiting point If your cable is stretched it will be a little higher possibly If your clutch isnt worn out ??? Got my last one from euro car parts Also as mentioned the spring maybe stiff try lubricating it ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |
