Hi there.
I'm new to this forum.

My friend has a Fiat Siena, and recently the clutch stopped working.
After he got it towed home he asked me to take a look at it, and I made the following observations:
The clutch pedal had dropped.
After taking out battery, engine computer and battery base, I noticed that the clutch wire had about 3/4 inch of free travel, while the graduating nuts on the clutch wire were in its original position.
The clutch lever can be freely moved a few degrees or about 1.5 inches between the points where the clutch wire originally was supposed to be and where it rests now.
Also, the clutch bearing does't make any revealing noise when the engine is on.
I think that the part that moves the clutch bearing had somehow got loose or wasn't correctly placed when they reassembled the clutch, or something else might have broken...

Any ideas or suggestions?

I understand that Siena and Palio are basically the same and share the same engine / gearbox.
I order take remove the gearbox I have to remove the left and right drive shafts. Left one came out without an issue. How is the right one fixed to the gearbox?

Thanks

Never mind. Took down the gearbox. Thanks for no replies at all.

Hi folks.

This is kind of an emergeny:
A friend of mine has a Fiat Siena 2001 with manual gearbox. Suddenly the clutch pedal went to the floor: no clutch...
He got it towed back home and called me to take a look.
The clutch wire at first glance looked streched, between the locking nuts and clutch lever is aprox. 1 inch of exessive room when pulling on the wire in order to level clutch and break pedals. But after replacing it with a new wire the clutch behaved the same way, and after analizing the old wire closely I could not find any signs of wear on it.
I thought that maybe the locking nut that holds the fork in place on the clutch lever, as on the Fiat Uno, but the Siena doesn't have a locking nut. Next I took of the clutch lever from its shaft to see if it had slipped in any way but that wasn't the case, either.
Anyways, something must have given in.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance.
