ABF clutch cable

[jasonwinslow]

Mine was replaced recently by a dealer but it still feels exactly the same - jerky and very heavy. Doesn't feel like it's even been touched but it's definately a new cable. Haven't done many miles on it since so I thought maybe it needs to bed in or something, but other than that I don't know what the problem is?!

Pedal box or clutch release bearing are your next bets, neither are easy jobs.

how many other cars have you driven?

After getting out of the ibiza into other cars i drive i almost put my left foot through the floor every time i change gear!

(two of those cars are toyotas though and everything has that silky smooth efficient feeling )

yeah should be on both - the diesels got the hydraulic system that the gearbox was designed for originally

Gti's etc got a bodged up right angle lever that went to the front bracket- then over the top - then up - then across - then down another right angle

all using a 6ft long cable with a self adjuster spring loading it too

you can see why they are a pain now

plus they are alot more tunable
