Hi all,
With my clutch cable disconnected from the transmission my clutch pedal falls to the floor. That in turn means the only way (at present) to keep it up is to attach the cable at the transmission and adjust the turn nut. But this would mean, I think, that the clutch throw out bearing would be permanently engaged. So I think I have a problem with the return spring under the pedal assembly. I can see it is not broken, maybe just needs more tension (another turn) to do its job. Not much room to get in and do things down near the pedals and front of tunnel. What do you reckon? Thanks Dave Oz |

The spring pulls the clutch pedal downward.
The throwout bearing is always lightly engaged. |

Thanks Gents,
One less thing for me to have to fix then. Great. In my 356 having the thrust bearing permanently engaged is a big no no. Oh well, this arrangement clearly works. Best regards Dave O Oz |

They were thinking "keep light pressure on the throw out bearing" and "keep the slack out of the cable"
