Clutch problems

[Rob_deez]

Hi all,

Im having serious clutch problems with my car. I replaced the clutch cable as it snapped at the end of last month. The cable snapped on my again last night and im having to replace it again? What would be the reason why it keeps snapping?

Thanks for your help

Did you fit a genuine renault cable? Pattern ones are garbage, also the routing needs to be spot on.

^as above plus is the clutch stiff?

No i didnt fit a renault one. How much is the renault clutch cable? also i think the routing was ok, didnt seem to be catching on anything.

£18~22 I thinkj.

Renault is the only decinet one and for the price not worth going elsewhere.

Yep it was the one supplied with the car from new and was desinged to last for the period of warently + extra wheras copy cat stuff hasn't had the same quality and desing implementation.

Ok. I got the new cable today, and ive just fitted it. They gave me a clutch pedle stopper aswel, i fitted it but it seems to be biting really low down. can this be adjusted at all??

Nope should be a high bite check the teeth on the adjuster arn't broke as thats a common issue,

when fitting a new clutch cable to the valvers a new modified clutch pedal should also be purchased to stop it snapping in future. make sure you have routed the cable correctly because if shes really heavy on the pedal your more than likely gunna snap it again

i had this prob a year and a half ago - clutch cable snapped (replaced with gen), pedal shite! fitted stop still the same, took box out and replaced clutch improved also did fork aswell, replace pedal just before xmas just gone, felt mint but still heavy, cable then snapped again on monday, threw a new cable (gen again £15 to me) in 30 mins routed a diff way to before and clutch is light and bite is about half way! bloody nightmare valver clutches!
