Hei.
Since posting in the Ritmo/Strada section did not work, I post my problem here, as it is not a particular Fiat model problem.
It is propably the clutch.
The engine / gearbox / transmission / clutch has worked fine for 6 months. All in a sudden it became difficult to change gears when driving. Had to "lurk" it into gears with engine at idle speed when driving. Gears started grinding, and now it is impossible to change gears. Can not get it in 1st gear after engine has started, and ofcourse can´t drive...
When my brother pushes the clutch pedal, there is very little movement in the clutch plate when looking into the hole on top of the gearbox.
The movement is only when the pedal bottoms. No movement on the rest of the pedals stroke length.
The clutch pedal rests higher than the brake pedal when released.
The clutch adjuster nut is tightened to the max - this is a cable operated clutch.
Has the clutch wandered to the eternal hunting fields? Or is there another problem.
Morten.
