Experiencing some issues when shifting gears. I’m finding that even with the clutch pedal pressed the entire way to the floor I’m grinding a bit when shifting. I did a bit of research and decided to adjust the tensioner on the back cable assembly.
First I tried tightening the nut thinking this would help the clutch to engage sooner but in fact the issue appeared worse after I tightened it. I then adjusted the nut back to where I started and tried loosening it but that didn’t help either. Anyone care to take a stab at what the issue might be? New cable assembly maybe? Pressure plate? Thanks everyone!! |

Thanks everyone!! This is typical experience of a rusting firewall where the clutch cable exits into the engine compartment, which fails to hold the clutch cable outer sheath in place, which prevents the clutch cable from pulling a full peddle stroke - thus, not fully disengaging the clutch. It is easy to inspect once you can get under the car and check it out while someone pushes the clutch peddle. Lots of advice here for a good fix. |
