Clutch cable issues

[ryderf3]

Hi guys,

Posted earlier this week with a query about engine and box code to try and rectify a problem im having with my Ibiza. Still no luck, The problem is, iv had a clutch cable snap at the pedal end, read a lot of threads about pedal box problems etc. The pedal box is fine (looks like it could be new) the problem im having is iv bought and fitted a new cable. The cable appears to long slightly and someone has cut a second slot in the pedal to fit the same cable previously for the last owner (this is what I believe caused it to break as it was flexing to much). The motor factor company I bought the cable off are sure its the only one listed. Which leads me to think I may have a problem with the fork connecting to the box. Has anyone had anything similar or any suggestions what to look for otherwise I may have to take it to the local main dealer as I dont know of any specialists in the South Wales area.

All help appreciated,
Phil.

just taken these for you. On mine 2L 16V which i think is the same as yours if i remember...
There is a big rubber seal surrounding a plastic (i think) housing which slots through the bulk head, then theres a white plastic tube style effort with a slit down the middle which hooks onto the clutch pedal via a small metal hook on the pedal arm.

Thats how it fits simple as... you can also see where my pedal box is bolted together

My clutch cable is connected exactly the same way as in the photos above.

My car is a 1.4 ibiza and on that cay you need the manual adjusting clutch cable. I phoned my local dealer to double check and i just got it from there!

Thanks for the replies guys, thanks ibiza 95 those pics have helped, I think I will need to change the pedal as on closer inspection looks like original hook has snapped and new one cut into pedal. Also looks like I will need a manually adjusting cable as slightly to long.

Thanks again
