clutch...

[ian711]

got a problem with the clutch, the biting point is all over the place, sometimes at the very bottom, sometimes at the very top, and the stiffness of the pedal gets really bad when it's at the top.
had the clutch pedal taken off to see if the rachet on the end was worn?? (i was told this could be the problem) but looked okay, cleaned it up, but its still doin it.
any idea's??
just a bit worried that the clutch cable is goin to go again...

do ya reckon that'll def cure the problem or should i change the pedal first and then see what happens.

i've only broke one cable, it broke pedal end of the clutch.

clutch and pedal.i believe a modified pedal was released by renault.
but hey my advise is based on experience and from reading on the forum. :wink:

[ian711]

your help is very much appreciated mate,
reading eh??
i work in winnersh so not far from you.
will look into gettin some quotes for a new clutch and pedal.
any rough guesstimates on price???

[Rich]

correct fab, the modified pedal stops you snapping cables

[ian711]

ok, slightly dense question but do i have to ask for the modified one or do they only make the modified one now??

Cheers Rich and Richy.Youve taught me well :D

Ian,nope i'm not in reading.I'm not even going to tell you where I am :lol:

Clutch from Renault.Part number 7711134045.£90I think they will take your old one as a trade in also.
Dont know how much the peddle is.chances are renault will sell you the modified one.you can hint it anyway when talking with the parts department.
Possibly looking around 2-3 hours labour.People have quoted various prices on the forum for labour on this job.


Anyone down south near Ian able to advise on this?

Cheers,

Fab.

Clutch from GSF is IRO £40. Got mine changed for £150 labour cash in hand via subframe being moved to access from underneath. Did get quotes nearer £400 from other places. New cable was fitted at same time and they reckoned that was harder than the clutch.

Never snapped a cable but been told that is the symptom of your clutch being on way out. It just tightens up more and more then snaps cables for fun.

You should know if its needed by how many miles you've done. Mine was diagnosed as being overly heavy before it started snapping cables at 85k miles and I got sorted within weeks.

Believe there was a pedal modification some cars were recalled for but not sure if mine has it or needed it being a N reg and not getting car till 5 years after it was 1st registered.
