gearbox woes

Could also be the ratchet at fault or even worse the plastic pivot bush has worn away. Get someone to press the pedal while you measure how far the fork moves, minimum is 17mm which means it's on it's last legs & needs replacing and a new ratchet makes it move 21mm

I have a pagid cable in as I couldn't get hold of an oem one at the time.. can't fault it and has lasted a while! I think the actual cable on the pagid is slightly thicker than the oem too..

man that plastic pivot bush is a pain to change.

this sounds like fun LOL anyone got any pics of this ratchet and pivot bush set up?

The ratchet is the clutch pedal itself & this is the plastic bush http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-5-...item3f52ca6e82

you can buy a repair kit for the clutch pedal - its that busy that I am on about. Not the one paddy linked up.

is this the pedal kit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2715216611...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT is it just a case of undoing both split pins either side and changing the parts over? also as ive gone to take the clutch cable of and 2 of the clips that clips it to the side where it runs to the back of the engine are missing/non existent? could this be a factor into my problems?

Anyone on here got any?? I've already face booked mat brown about some. scrap that, ive found them at lookers part number 7703079259

new OEM clutch cable fitted, new gear selector spring fitted, new gearbox oil, and still difficult to get into first, plus the clutch pedla has a really low biting point now????

[northy]

have you measured the old cable against the new one first ? Just to check its length is right?

I take it you've bought genuine parts???
