Hello, i have an issue with my clutch pedal. I was driving and pushed the clutch in to shift. I heard a nreaking noise and yhe pedal went to the floor. The peadal stil has tension when you move it with your hand, however it goes straight back to rhe floor. I will try to add a couple pictures. Any suggestions?

This is an easy fix. A good reintro to home-mechanic fun and games.
If you have and want to keep your brain, first buy a set of jack stands as a floor jack is a recipe for disaster without the use of one of them at the least. Second get a Hayne's Manual for 914-4. Jack up the car and position one or more jackstands to safely allow you to slide under the car. Flashlight in hand, look at the stuff on the garage floor and at the firewall where the cable enters the center tunnel. A new cable from Pelican Parts extension 330 (Bruce Stone) is cheap and good insurance for future safe drives in the wilds yonder. If the cable snapped as I suspect it did, simply remove the pedal board in the cabin and snap off the attaching clevis pin thingy at the cable's end. Draw out the remaining cable. Do the reverse to insert the new cable. AS bruce stated in his post in this thread, get new nuts and adjust the throwout to spec in the Haynes manual. Start with easy fixes to ease into the art of living with a 914 decades after they were made and always try to have fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

QUOTE(forrestkhaag @ Jul 31 2017, 07:55 AM)  simply remove the pedal board in the cabin and snap off the attaching clevis pin thingy at the cable's end. I like the "simply" part (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . Yes, it isn't that hard. On the other hand you have your head in the pedal well and your ass sticking out the door with the pinch weld poking you somewhere around the ribs. BTW, the seat comes out really easy. Actually come to think of it I think there is a photo of me in that position somewhere on this site. A good flashlight or headlamp will certainly help. |
