    I'm stuck

    Can't get the new cable through the bulkhead, I'm pulling on the wire I've taped to it but I can't quite slot it into the hole & pull it through

    Is it a trial & error thing to get it into the hole & pull through or have I missed something??

    def trial and error and when you do get it thru the bulkhead think you need to make sure the clips on the outer click into place in the bulkhead hole think once you get the cable connected at both ends and depress clutch a few times it should seat correctly as for working upside in car take drivers seat out it will give better access if ur struggling m8 this job is def no fun good luck

    ai takes a few attempts ususally man with all the crap in the way. persistance is the key

    The persistance paid off and I got it through the bulkhead but I'm still having trouble

    I've got it all hooked up, but the pedal is still slack & on the floor
    Have I missed something or done something wrong? Or is my clutch ratchet fooked?

    I've given up for tonight

    Only reason i can think of it being slack is if its not connected to the box, if the rachet is fecked you'll know it cos it'll be obvious due to the noise the pedal mech will make

    It's not down to persistance now I don't think

    I need to teach myself to re-set the clutch ratchet or find out if it's that being fubar causing the problem

    Need it sorting so I can go look at my williams on sunday
