For some reason My clutch no longer fully disengages. The throw is adjusted properly (the adjustment is the same as I've always had it), but pushing the pedal only yields about 3/4 of an inch of movement from the clutch cable. Also, pushing the pedal is really easy now. What's wrong? Is the cable stretched?

Take the rear access plate off of the inside tunnel.
Sit in the drivers seat and reach in with your right hand and feel the tube on the sidewall of the tunnel closest to the driver. As you have your fingers on the tube, actuate the clutch.. If the tube moves at all, you need to find out where. The tube is held in place (and it must be) at the rear of the firewall and just in front of the shifter. The front one typically goes and is not that hard to fix... If you cannot weld, and cannot find a welder to help you I have seen various methods to clamp the front tube to the sidewall of the tunnel. I think Slits did this, he may have a few pics of how that works... I would prefer to weld it back up. Rich |
