    No clicking, the bite point at first was actually with the pedal touching the floor and that was 'just' about, then it loosened up a bit but was still very hard to get into gears... After it gave up the ghost it felt fine and like a normal cable but then it went back to the first step and decided to not engage at all.....



    The words '**** it off' are constantly on my mind at the moment

    HAD SIMILAR PROB WITH SELECTING GEARS ESPECIALLY REVERSE ENDED UP CHANGING CLUTCH PEDAL ASSY AND ITS AS SWEET AS A NUT NOW WOULDN'T SAY THE OPERATION WAS HEAVY THOUGH :D :D :D :D

    Only things i can think of is that either the clutch lever pedal assembly isn't right or the clutch cable is not attatched to the selector fork properly.

    Also make sure the cable hasn't snapped any of the clips; there should be two along the subframe and another two along the engine bay IIRC.

    I added some spacers to my clutch cable to bring the bite point up from underneath the floor boards.

    As above - i'd bet it's the clutch pedal assembly. Had the same problem on ours. Changed clutch and cable, still the same - so changed the pedal and was fine.

    The pedal shouldn't be heavy though.

    Seems to be a very common fault this one! & an annoying one!

    What I had to do for a while, especially for reverse, was switch off, put it in gear, then start it in gear with the clutch down as far as it would go - seemed to work as self-adjusted so it was fine after a week or so

    Stick with it! lol

    Update:

    Seems to be much better now so I'll run it as is for a while..

    I'm an ass for not doing the pedal assembly like you say Northy - I did it to my old naples and oh my god how nice is it!

    They changed the design a while ago and it just sorts everything out - I'm suprised people do soft pedal conversions when this is all is needed really...

    I'll get one anyway and put it on regardless next time...
