Clutch issuie PH1 172.

If I sit at a standstill with the handbrake on, put the car into first gear with the clutch pedal fully depressed. If I then rev the engine even with the clutch pedal fully depressed the car will try to creap forward as if the clutch is not fully engaging.
I am thinking clutch cable? anyone experienced this and know the cause?

Get a friend to press the clutch while you watch it inside the engine bay to make sure it's pulling properly. Might be the cable is streched.

 

[John Gordon]

Yeah thats what i was guessing, a stretched cable. Got no friends though! lol

 

[MartinR]

Even if the cable has stretched the self adjusting mechanism on the pedal shoululd correct that!

Check there is no teeth missing on it. If its ok i reckon if its on the original clutch the release bearing has worn into the pressure plate hence not disengaging properly.

I shamefully took part in a traffic light GP last night which is where i noticed it (was a jokey scenario with some posh people in an audi rather than me being a dick). On a side note as i dropped the clutch I seemed to get more in the way of clutch slip than a decent get away (although I did bolt off) and the clutch stunk for a good hour after. If i put it in 5th whilst stationary give some revs and feed the clutch in it will stall so there must me some meat on there still?
