« on: 06 September 2009, 16:33 »
Anyone know what this problem cud be? The car is a Golf mk4 gti. Was changing into 2nd gear, heard a bang, and clutch went right back to the floor, with no drive, a couple of bits fell on the floor inside the car  :angry:

if there are parts inside the car then it is most likely the clutch pedal.

Sounds like it's the end of the clutch cable parted company with the rest of it - there would have to be an almighty BANG to get shrapnel in the car otherwise!

Hopefully it will just be the clutch pedal, getting it fitted tomorrow, also a few clips, they seem to be the cause of the shrapnel.
