this is also as you say colinOriginally Posted by THE MASTER

Gary, If you could please meausre that would be
Chris's new clutch cable turned up today and I believe he is going to meaure up and post up today
out of interest, if it come to the worst, is the white bush (part no pls?) that the clutch fork pushes up to replaceable while the engine/gearbox are still in situ?
also, nobodys mentioned the selector rod underneath the car?
could this cause a problem with selecting gears? when i refitted this engine i didnt line anything up regarding the rod.! i just just pushed it back though the clamp i little a tightened it up. i wouldnt even know how to adjust it even after looking through the article
any updates from you guys that were suffering the same problem..?
ive nothing to report as i refuse to work on it now.
bump!
We are still at the same place aswell got yet another brand new genuine Renault clutch cable fitted and still the slacknone of us can be bothered to play with the car at the mo we have another clutch release fork on the way to try out when we can be arsed. We need to sort it soon as National Day approaches.
i know, its getting bloody rediculess nowWe are still at the same place aswell got yet another brand new genuine Renault clutch cable fitted and still the slackits the one and only thing holding me back from getting the car on the road. im not even keeping the car so its just been stood undercover for months now until i can get this issue sorted,then its up for sale when its 100% complete.
james5 any joy on your side of things regarding this
mine has been sat in the same place so still not sorted
unfortunatly we are in the same position know one has touched Chris's raiderjames5 any joy on your side of things regarding this
mine has been sat in the same place so still not sorted
I know Chris has got a couple of clutch forks to try out one from myself (was known to be fine as out of running car with no clutch engagement problems) and another from Markey Mark to see if they make any difference at all. Hopefully Chris will be trying them out soon to see if it makes any difference, the only other thing it could be is this fecking white bush thing in the gearbox as that would be the only item not replaced but I am failing to see that it would really cause 4-5" of slack?? maybe 1" yes I could see but no more than that.
this is a baztard of an issuehow much i hate these cars right now i cant explain.
crappy little niggly problems
have you had a look if the white bush is replacable with separating the g/box from the engine?
Ok little bit of an update, Chris has been playing with his 5 himself now
and he has fitted another new clutch cable and this time he has said that it feels much better. Unfortunatly he didn't measure the cable this time so length is unknown. He is also still having to run a 1/2" spacer aswell to take up the small amount of slack.
withought reading the full thread, make sure reno give you the R% cable and not the R11 or R9. Pretty sure these are slightly longer??
Anyone confirm this please?
Right just measured 2 genuine new Renault clutch cables, they were both 186cm long.
Raj, did you ever solve this issue?? if so what was it?
I sorted Raj's clutch cable while ago by slightly flattening the clutch pedal stop, it aloud it to click one more time on the ratchet and then the clutch worked fine, went into all gears nicely when it was driven.
Is that the little plastic bit on the back Mark ?
The white plastic stop, thats it mate.
It has a curved section, i filed it down abit so it was more flat which allowed the pedal to click one more times.
Raj's wasn't as bad as yours, same thing though checked everything twice with no luck in finding anything wrong. We tried this and it worked perfect so Raj was happy to leave it as that.
OK, so I know what part you mean, where is it situated & do you need to remove the pedal to file it down ??
If you look up at the pedal just infront of where the pedal pivots you'll see a white clip thats pushed through the bracket that the pedal rest on when its fully up, all you got to do is push the pedal down and then that will allow you to push the pedal stop out (white clip).
Hope that makes sense, never been good at explaining things!
