Look 8 post down from the top in the transmission topic, shows the spring and where it is. My knowledge of these cars is small in comparison to most but it does sound like the cable is not endaging/disengaging fully. |

The spring on the clutch pedal. That will give you a better 'feel' and can't hurt. Be careful when taking it off though it can fly off like a rocket.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

The more I come to think of it (remember my situation) it got a lot worse as the engine got warmer, especially stop start traffic in town.Don't worry about removing it, mines been off for over a year with no problems |

Ok, is it simply pull/lever off or do you have to unscrew shit first? ________________________________________ Team Ducati 7482003 Subaru Impreza STi |

Carl's lad removed mine in about 20 seconds, I think he just used a pair of long pliers, just a couple of cir clips (or what ever they are called).No need to remove any body work etc. Hang on, it's still in my glove box, I'll go take a look. Ball socket at one end (just pops off) and a clip at the other. Would take a pic for you but I have to be at work in an hour. Good luck. |

take some wd40 and spray it under the clutch lever arm. the wd40 is just a temp fix to see if the arm is dragging.i would buy a genuine peugeot clutch cable and grease up the gearlinkages. my gear lever nylon ball was cracked in two when i replaced it. this can cause irregular gear selection. |

I'm near certain this is not a linkage related problem Niel, all linkages look relatively new and i greased them all up when fitting the new box.Clutch cable/peddle/arm are my main areas of concern now. ________________________________________ Team Ducati 7482003 Subaru Impreza STi |

The spring is to push the pedal down. mine feels so much better without. It can be refitted if you keep all the bits.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

My hand is lying flat on the side of the battery case. 5cm above my finger under the black pipe is the pivot point. get some wd40 under that and take it for a spin. if it works then get some grease under the arm.  |

I guess the real issue is the clutch lever arm bearing failiure or where the arm goes through the gearbox casing. |

You have to have the box off to change the bushes.. think they're mentioned on Welly's clutch/gearbox FAQ  ________________________________________ Team Ducati 7482003 Subaru Impreza STi |

I would be keen to try a manual adjustment cable, but I'm not sure if there's one that fits straight on. Other than that, the symptoms sound like a loose/broken spring in the plate, but since you've changed the plate, it would seem unlikely. |

OK, so just been out with martin (davidmartin) and we've narrowed it down to gear linkages - makes sense as they're the only thing ive not replaced on the car since owning.We adjusted the longest linkage (made it shorter) and it seems to have helped quite a bit. So i'm going to order a new set of linkages and go from there Massive thanks to marty for his time - top guy! ________________________________________ Team Ducati 7482003 Subaru Impreza STi |

Hello m8, Ive registered specifically to put my reply to this thread, I used to work for a Peugeot main dealer and I would suggest your soloution is in your symptoms. The fact that this problem is here only occasionally and then rights itself says it can only be the self adjuster in the clutch cable as any other problem e.g.a bent arm or pedal box would be there all the time. Match a manually adjusting one up with GSF and I'd put |
