Ha Ha yes I think that will be a case of if it’s not broke don’t fix it ha ha

I’m not sure and have no idea of such a thing. I’ll have a look next time I’m out at it. I would think it’s there but sounds simple enough to check. Near side of the bellhousing as in passenger side ?

I did look but I couldn’t see any cracks and the bush on top of pedal all good and tight. Next time I’ve got 5 min I’ll have a look at packing the bush at bellhousing up with washers maybe that will do the job.

Hi thanks that’s actually a good idea I never thought about packing that bit with washers. I had the interior stripped last week checking pedal box as I thought that but it’s solid and I couldn’t get it to move. I felt it was a bit squint but couldn’t get it to move. It’s had 2 clutches 3 cables but...

Cable that’s on it now is from burton and the other come from Tickover.

Hi yes that’s exactly it. I somehow binned the original cable without thinking as I thought it was done. Now all I have is 2 aftermarket cables and both are different lengths and I do feel that the inner cables are 2 long on both but when looking online it doesn’t give much in the way of inner cable...

Ok cheers guys I’ve been out trying to get the cable to tighten up and no joy to be honest just skint fingers ha ha. Well looks like more money as usual with this bloody thing. Anyway cheers for input I’ll let you no if anything different when I tighten it back up but I doubt it ha ha

Yes I’m fairly confident the clutch fork and bearing all correct and the fact it’s had 2 clutches 1st 1 was original and 1st cable was original but I’m sure that snapped definitely not fully but I did hear a ping when I pressed clutch and from then on that’s when I started to have problems. Obviousl...

Hello again guys. I am wondering if anybody had any knowledge of the route and size of Capri 2.8 cable I’ve had 3 different cables Recently and currently mine is about 95cm and the 1 before was 110cm or there abouts. I have read it’s supposed to go behind the engine mount then into bellhousing but I...

Cheers guys so little update for you. So after fiddling with pedal box and making sure all nuts and bolts were tight it didn’t make a bit of difference. So I took cable off again and tried to route it behind the engine mount but it just wouldn’t fit to short. So it’s now in front. I tried to tighten...

Hi. Ye I was having problems with the original clutch and thought it was on its way out but I have had it replaced. And to be honest it’s probably worse now especially the biting point. I have been rained off today but hopefully get back to it tomorrow.

Ye I no and it is solid just strange. Maybe it’s the box itself.

Ye it was matching clutch and 3 piece all brand new luk. I’m thinking and I’m no mechanic but could it be the pedal box being slightly out of line ? The reason I’m on this is when car was stripped down and in paint shop they removed the 2 bolts on the top plate on bulk head just above where servo is...

Car was in had a respray and when I got it back I went to move it and when I brought up clutch I heard a ping like a spring snapping or cable breaking. So I changed cable and it was fine but then on my last outing last year I struggled to get a gear so adjusted the cable up a bit and the car drive h...

I never fitted it but guy who did knows his stuff it was the same problem with the clutch I took out so wouldn’t think it’s wrong way round. Clutch does work but only when adjusted right up and by that I mean not threads left where they come through the bush and bite basically on the floor. Definite...

Ye the plastic bush is in the bit at the bell housing where cable goes through. Clutch was a luk but the clutch before was original 1 hence why I thought it was possibly the clutch. Top of clutch pedal looks fine and plastic clip fits tight that holds cable on. I was reading a post that says there i...

Hi guys hope your all keeping well. I have a problem with my 2.8 clutch. I have just replaced clutch and cable and I’m struggling to get the clutch to adjust properly. If I adjust the cable right up as far as it will go I get a pedal and can engage gears but not the best and it bites almost immediat...
