Title: stiff clutch
Post by: sellers on 13 January 2006, 20:43

in the gti the clutch is a bit more stiff and heavyer than my driver, is this the cable or just needs some grease on the clutch lifting arm (thingy).  its a manual adjustment cable, not automatic

take the clutch cable off an dribble some engine oil down into it, and let it seep down

hang it on your wahsing line for an hour or two ;)

Just buy a new manual cable, try halfords first as they are end of line so under £5 :)
Ask for one for a 1.6 Driver otherwise they'll try & sell you an expensive auto adjust cable!
