I reinstalled the engine after a rebuild and for some reason that I can't figure out the clutch seems to go out of adjustment when the car warms up.
I park it and let it cool, the clutch works just fine. Pedal play and everything is normal until it warms up again. Seems to be a bit more play but when warm I can't get first or reverse with grinding. Starting in gear with the clutch in, the car still moves. How can this be? |

Bushing tends to crumble under heat. I do not know personally but I have heard the new clutch cables are not what they used to be. Perhaps some stretching is starting to take place.

But here again, I go out the next day to do the adjustment and it's fine, shifts like butter. 10-15 miles down the road its "like" the cable stretched, but wait a few hours and it's fine. The old cable didn't have too many miles on it but replaced it anyway. I got the one from 914 Rubber, made by GEMO. That doesn't appear to be the problem though, |
