:sad: Need help - y is my clutch doin this ... ryt i just a new clutch cable fitted on my 8v and my clutch has gone sooooo hard and stiff that i have to put in some hard force to push it all the way down, and then it gets stuck and makes a clong noise and comes back ?? Why ? Helppp !!!!!!
-
Not sure why this is happening pal,but id defo be taking it straight back to where you had it done and be questioning them as to why its not functioning correctly as they did fit it.Maybe its just a case of it being a faulty cable and its just not adjusting correctly,but whatever the case go back to where you had the work done especially if you have a receipt and let them know something isnt right.

Cheeck to see if the white plastic clip is not held on the tabs (needs to be released/loose)
-
Did you fit a cheap cable?
-
Cheap cable ? It was the only one available from ferraris piston service hw much is the expensive cable ? Also i can take it back as mates the mechanic hu put it in.... but hes put it in correctly myt be a faulty cable ? wasnt hapy takin it of the recovery truck with a stiff clutch it took the piss coming off first tym it actuallly pissed me off in the year and a half of owning it
-
I know when I had a crappy clutch cable, it would stick and still be releasing when my foot was off the clutch, what worked for a while was putting some oil down the sleeve the cable runs in to lubricate it some more..
-
My mate cut through his bulk head with a badly fitted cable :grin:
-
Unlikely to be a new cable at fault, sounds to me like the thrust bearing is cream crackered
-
Simple enough to replace too; http://www.brokevw.com/TO.html

It looks like you have the wrong cable altogether my friend.
You have this one fitted to your car now:

Which is not for a MK3. Where did you get this new one from??
-
New one im sure was from fps ...... as they used my number plate ....
-
But the structure of the cable is identicle part frm the obv missin clip it also has the same gromet which goes under the wiper covers
-
I dont know, It either the cable is wrong or they've routed the cable a different way and it gets stuck somewhere when in operation.
