Technical clutch or gearbox problems what now.

[mic.neale]

the little beast has always been a bugger to get into gear (1st n 2nd), even after having a new clutch.
but after driving the car round for about 15mins i cant get 1st or 2nd with out the aid of a kick, ive tried ajusting the cable a few mm which normally helps but now the clutch is biting on the floor and pulls the car like an automatic with the clutch down?

please say this isnt a new clutch or a expencive trip to the garage.

or have i just been adjusting the cable the wrong way!

Sounds like the clutch needs adjusting in the other direction mate

Pedal should sit just under the level of the brake - screw the nut away from the free end of the cable to bring the biting point up a bit.

Sure sounds like adjustment, esp. if you've had a new clutch fitted! How much was that, by the way? The biting point shouldn't be on the floor - I bet reverse must be a pig to get. I had that problem some time ago, so called the good old AA out - they adjusted the clutch pedal up to just under the level of the brake pedal, as someone else has suggested.

I hope the OP got that problem sorted sometime over the last 5 and a half years.

You'll have to explain that.

You'll have to explain that.

Look at the date the Original Poster(OP) had the problem.

Hi David

Wedding?

Dyslexia is well difficult.

But Wedding and grand has been overtaken by events even middle of road photographers charge 1000 plus.

I only said it was a 'grand idea', using the 'grand' as an adjective to the word 'idea' not that it cost only a grand, as in noun.
