Clutch Cable question?

[GTI-Russ]

Just had a new clutch cable fitted. but now when i engage 1st with my foot to the floor on the clutch the car will pull foward by itself! (no im not on a hill btw) Just wondering whats up with that as i hav trouble selecting 1st and second once iver been triving for a while, plus it always crunches badly inbto reverse now :x

ANy advice would be great, cheers

probably the pedal ratchet is fubar'd mate or the cable routing is wrong

just had exactly the same problem the cable is routed wrongly mate but i got the pedal changed at the same time anyways

were is it usually routed wrong?? as mine has been the same since my new cable, were should it clip in?? near the strut, were else?? edit, does this also make the pedal go soft??

[jez]

well im the biggest novice here but its routed wrongly at the pedal end i think needs to loop over an eye or something?

[Justin..]

need to go through an eye not over it

mine crunches into reverse, only when its cold though.

anyone elses clutch pretty stiff?

[dannyb1986]

mine was really stiff, but since the new cable its soft and bites very low!

[philthy]

maybe il invest in a new cable then :)

my pedal is seriously stiff. I used to think the clutch on my 205 was heavy but after driving the valve it felt seriously light!

i wish they were hydraulic. if renault had any sense they would have done it
