Hi all (My first post)
I searched through a lot of previous threads but haven't found anything positive on this so here goes ....
The car is a Seicento 1100 Sporting and in the last week I've had to adjust the clutch 3 or 4 times. It can't be the adjuster slipping because it's one of those that goes a half turn at a time into a semi circular slot in the activating arm (not sure if I'm using the right terms here). I get a nice smooth gearchange after adjusting but pretty quickly it deteriorates to the point where I can't get it into gear and it needs adjustment again.
I thought at first that the cable was going stretchy prior to failing (it's lasted 56000 miles so far so a change is well due) but I suppose it could also be the release mechanism collapsing.
What's most likely? Or are there more checks I can do (short of dismantling) to tie it down?
Thanks
Jeff
