Didn't it get lighter?? That was my plan :( The pedal sits higher than the rest to which makes around town journeys a bit of a chore!

New clutch with a new cable usually does the lightening trick, if the pedal is sitting high then could I ask how the clutch feels to you now as drive it when in traffic and cold?

Sounds like the plastic stop which clips on to the pedal box is missing :undecided:
