It might be to do with the clutch arm pivot bush used in the gearbox ??
I know there are 2 different types .

Had fun & games with the clutch not disengaging after I fitted a new one. Only conclusion left after fitting new cable & ratchet mechanism was the clutch itself at fault. Ripped it off & took it back to gsf compared it with another clutch & the 1 I had was much thicker, turns out the clutch I has was simply put in the wrong box

I know there are 2 different types .

A longer clutch arm means that the cable has to go a longer way to fully declutch, so i think that the clutch pedal needs a bit of tuning if you change to a longer clutch arm..

yeah you have to file a bit off the plastic stop under the padel to allow
it travelling down further :idea: :wink:

The car had too many shades of tugsten grey over the years which was looking really tatty.That was my main reason for the respray . Now its just all one colour ,my mate that has painted it tells me its the same colour newest shape clios have . no idea what it is ,its grey :)

Wobba , i have just changed the clutch and gearbox which was spitting out of 2nd gear (fokked syncros iirc ) Engine is standard 1.8 16v and i am not thinking of changing it to anything else until it blows up . Its a heavy car ,i dont need it to have 200 bhp .lol

More pics from today as i have fitted lots of stuff back on .
Tomorrow front bumper and bonnet are getting primed and wet sanded
hopefully to be painted friday ,then i can book a fresh mot which is running out soon .

Wheels to be painted as well soon

Pics :D
