This is REALLY testing my patients now.
ive been out to slip some washers inbetween the cable and fork, i started off with 1 washer with no luck, then 2, then 3, and then i realised i could actually pull the clutch cable pretty far away from the fork towards the drivers side
now i wasnt going to try and fill that space with about 4" of washers
plus the fact that if i put more washers on,the clutch had that horrible pop feel to it..you push the clutch pedal and as you get to half way the pedal drops to the floor like it lost all tension. at least without the washers it felt pretty much the same throughout.
im sure if i remember on all my previous 5s it would be very hard to even pull the cable away from the fork! i just dont get it.
my cable is routed from the clutch fork, it runs over the turbo oil rtn pipe, then it clips to the chassiss arm, it then runs to the clip behind the rear eng mount and then it goes around the back of the steering boot and up into the hole in the bulkhead. IS THIS RIGHT.?
the clutch is new.
the clutch pedal/ratchet is a 2nd hand one from mike phase i 16v as my original one was knackered.
