Seems a weak spot

Mine hasnt snapped (yet) but driving home from work the other day i went for the change and felt an allmighty crack under my left foot.. the pedal has lost feel but still goes in gear fine, is it a snapped return spring in my case or stretched cable??

cheers

Thought i snapped mine yesterday, proper shit my self lol. It was the rachet on the pedal, it slipped a notch :x Guess i will be needing a new one soon. How much did a new pedal cost you last time Naples?

It cant be routed properly or you havn't got the modified pedal to stop this happening.
check the cable runs behind the heatshield or they will be melting all the time, of course a heavier clutch will contribute but unless your clutch is non existant i cant see how you should be going through that many cables!

where are you buying the cables from? i had to get a new one when i got the clutch replaced brought one from motormanina and its snapped 3 days later! So brought a renault one much stronger.

I dont think any of the replacements have been renault ones.

The one that lasted me longest was a halfords one, and even when it broke cable was intact, it was the outer where it locates inot the gearboc that broke

when it first broke, i had a gen pedal, rachet and cable put in. since then i have put a non genuine cable in. gunna put another in simply because i have it
