Transmission forum on here, i'm posting my problems in here so f*ck off the lot of you.
My clutch cable has decided it doesn't like me any more and the stupid ratchet mechanism has died, bite has dropped to the floor to the point it's hard to get in gear and when you look at the white clip thingy on the pedal, it doesn't sit snug against it, it just doesn't return all the way, and the pedal has to be pulled up the last third or so with my toes. It doesn't actually engage the cable until a third of the way down again.
Now i'm pretty sure the cable's the culprit as the clutch didn't appear to be slipping at any point. Really can't afford to replace the clutch either at the minute after the Xmas utility bills came in.
What's your thoughts?
My initial thought is that the cable has become kinked after I tried to re-route it over the engine instead of down by the exhaust. When I pull on it (giggidy) you can feel it resisting on the ratchet/spring til it stops, but a firmer pull frees up another 10mm or so of cable.
Goosed cable? Go on, make my day..
