chello Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I rremember a post a few weeks ago asking about a problem when the clutch did not come back to normal position,i am finding that my clutch does not slip tends to drag,making it haed to engage first and reverse, you get the feeling the pedal should go further down.I considered adjusting the cable but if its the slave cylinder that would be no aagood.I recall Nick F saying some slave cylinders are in clutch housing Any ideas welcome,thanks Chello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike P Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Check for carpet creases under the pedal! Mike P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euroserv Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 For a start; if it has a cable, it does not have a slave cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 And if it has a slave cylinder then it does not have a cable! Cables usually have some scope for adjustment, hydraulics generally do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As telepathy skills are sadly in absentia, we will needto know the make, model, engine size and year of your naughty little base vehicle. Year 2000 Bessacarr E425 with normally-aspirated 2.8litre motor. For that specification I’d guess a cable-operated clutch, but I’m sure Nick will know.

Tracker Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 It's been a year or three since I had one of they but as I recall the cable adjustment should be so that thereis very little slack in the cable which translates into a very small pedal travel before the weight of the clutch springs can be felt. If your pedal is not returning properly maybe it is as simple as a sticking cable and if you disconnect it you should be able to slide the inner cable easily up and down. If it still sticks after lubrication maybe the cable is damaged or the inner frayed. In any case at 16 years old it does not owe you much so it may be easier to just replace the cable and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Have to agree with Tracker 16 years old, best to have a new one. Not worth the aggro if it breaks . It's S##'s law bound to go at an inconvenient place PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Collings Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If the cable is starting to stretch and worse fray it makes smooth clutch control very hard. Fit a new one and the difference it makes to gear changing is very noticeable. And the same goes for the accelerator if its cable operated.
