My clutch pedal went really hard so replaced clutch cable .clutch itawlf is fine.still very hard clutch cable when pressing clutch down so i removed the cable rachet adjuster and rebuilt it using a repaire kit online. I have set the adjuster up so its like there is a non weared clutch in the car (new). I attached the cable to the adjuster then attached cable to the clutch fork. But pedal is still very hard to push down. The rachet clicked once...still very hard to push down To the point it hurts your leg to push it down. Iv read online if i disconnect cable from the fork and push clutch pedal to floor then attach the cable in clutch fork it will auto adjust. I dont really want to do this as i belive the rachet got dammaged when the cable was removed off clutch fork and the rachet tensioned to the point the teeth come of the cog and is impossible to put back on without removing the whole rachet from clutch pedal whitch is a hour long swearing finger cutting process hopfully someone can help me as im at a total loss what else to do.

How old is your clutch?
I'd just stick a genuine clutch in.
After reading this and your other thread it sounds like you've tried all options other than a genuine valeo clutch.
I'm gonna stick one in mine when the weather is a bit better l, it's heavy as hell which happens with these clutches as they wear

Didn't you say it was all bent in your other thread?
Yeh but iv since put a 1.4 engine in my 1.2 shell but engine and clutch worked fine and was light in the 1.4 shell so clutch itself is ok. Im unsure how to reset the rachet on the clutch pedal. Im being told it could be clutch cable as its not genuine renault but surly a cable cant make it feel so hard to push down like ud need both legs to push it down it feels that hard
The rachet on the clutch mechanism is an auto adjuster, well it is on the sport. To reset it you disconnect from the box and push the pedal up and down a few times and reconnect, but I can't see that having any effect on the stiffness of the clutch, unless the actual clutch pedal is siezed. Remove the cable from the box end and see if the pedal falls to the flood easily
Im going to take the clutch canle out of the 1.4 shell as the clutch worked fine and put it into my shell that way engine clutch is same ao will be cable and rachet is new and go from there if it does not fix it then i guess my old cable or old rachet has damaged clutch and its clutch pressure plate thats caulsing heavy pedal renault want £100 for a clutch cable lol
It was clutch cable i swapped for the 1.4 one and its light as a feather
