Been spending a some time here and there over a couple of weeks to get my "always in need of adjustment" clutch cable set.

Kept loosening and tube and cable look good. Realized this weekend that a retainer was missing at the pulley end so the cable and its covering were slipping.

I got that all fixed up and used a shorter barrel washer.

I was driving the car in the hills and go for second gear and POP pedal go to the floor. Coasted downhill 2 miles home...love living in the hills.

So I check under the car and there is still full tension on the cable. Pedal just flops.

Next step I need to do I guess is pull the carpet again and take a look.

I thought when the cable goes it would be loose...if the spring goes, the same. Pedal just flops.

Any ideas?

it may have just fallen out.
Pull out the carpet, pull out the pedal board.
Cable is on the ground, front of the tunnel, hard to see.
Spring is on the pedal assembly.

both are cheap,
Rich

You can check with bdstone and see what he wants for a rebuilt pedal assembly or you can rebuild it yourself. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/M...dal_cluster.htm

Make sure the cable is coming out straight from out of the firewall and not fraying the cable like mine did, thus snapping 2 clutch shafts till it was found out.

Gotta parrot the others and say roll pin. Had the same thing happen to me but with a very unhappy while getting sunburnt wife because we were supposed to be shopping for a car for her.... My pin was a BI*CH to get out but I don't have a press and I kept the cluster in the car. Drilled out the old one and hammer and punched in the new one. all has been well *with that* since then. I did replace the cable at the same time.

Still have to pull the cluster I suppose. Just when you think you're somewhat caught up.

You'll probably want to invest in a new clutch pedal. That hole looks pretty ovaled.

Probably need to take it all apart and see what other handywork is there.

The pedal should just rotate off now that the "pin" is broken.

yes pull the whole cluster and rebuild it.
it looks like it needs it
put the bushing kit into the rebuild of the cluster.

when my roll pin sheared 20 years ago, it too ovaled the hole in that pedal shaft. you can drill the hole bigger but at the risk of weaking the shaft... but you have to do something to address the ovaled hole or the pedal will have slop in it. I replaced mine when it happend to me, but you won't know if you have to until you pull the cluster apart and examine.
