 | clutch cable AGAIN!! i replaced my clutch cable in march and today it went again! went to fiat to complain at how crap these cables are, they said they'd replace it and fit it under their part's warranty! but 2 hour's later i get a phone call to say the cable snapped because the pivot link (the white plastic triangle part the cable fix's on to) and the bush that the pivot is fixed on to were worn!!!! they said because of the excessive play in the link it put extra strain on the cable link and that's why it snapped???? anybody else had this??

 | Sorry, but Fiat are right. Just taken the 'box off the turbo today, clutch spring was badly worn and pivot bearings were all but seized onto the shaft. Makes the pedal heavy and snaps the cables. Clutch arm was so hard to move that I needed a spanner to move it. Pete. 1242cc cinq, turbo cinq, Cinqs&Seis Yahoo group, Clubcento Vote Binkioh no, hang on..
