Clutch cable potentially to short?

[LewisTaylor]

Ok so today i had a look at the mechanism of the pedal by taking pedal box off and everything seems ok, after i had took it all apart i refited the cable to see if it made any difference, but no.

Look how far the cable has the clutch lever pulled.

This is without the cable on.

So i'm now thinking i must have the clutch the wrong way round?

If anything it would be easier to get the cable on with plate round the wrong way, you would have had a struggle to get the cover on initially as well.

Ah right more important priority got in the way did it haha but that’s a shame you didn’t have luck Monday.

I’m guessing that if you drive the car with how it is now it acts as if you have the clutch pedal depressed slightly and just revs up when moving forward?

 

[LewisTaylor]

Yeah that's it mate all out of idea's

Take it all out and start again? :dead:

If not is there anyone else that could have a look?

Took this engine out this morning, clutch was fitted correctly, pedal ratchet mechanism is working fine, yet my clutch cable is still pulling the lever to far? I'm seriously mythed about this, what the F*ck is making the cable pull the lever the so far?

 

[Tony Hunter]

As I said before, have you reset the ratchet up by the clutch pedal??

I took it off, adjusted the nut on it and it didn't seem to make any difference.

I think you have to it with a screwdriver, push it completely one way, fit cable, them pump clutch once or twice, and it finds it's own position.

you can't really tell when they're not working right sadly. had a scenic that caused me a huge headache and took a gamble on a new pedal, which fixed it

Think i'm going to take this advise and get a new pedal. Everything else other than the gearbox has been changed now lol

i'm not convinced it's that in your case though, it seems to be the reverse of a pedal ratchet failure.

What you thinking then? That's all that's left it could be, or Renault have given me the wrong clutch cable...
