clutch pedal

[silk violet]

Hi there i have just bought a new clutch cable for my mk2 gsi and the the pedal sits about 3" above my brake pedal but clutch works fine how can i get my pedal to sit flush with brake pedal...???

adjust the cable on the gearbox side of things iirc sounds like it needs doing up more

Wrong cable?

[Benn]

The clutch should sit a little higher, but i'm talking 5mm or so.... Sure it was a Nova cable?

I presume its the right size as was bought from my local motor factors and is there a diff size cables if so does anybody know what size cable it should be...?? So i can measure and get the right size.. ????

Nope, all novas had the same cable on.

Is it all connected right? Plastic bit on the end in the right place?

what was it like on the old cable ?

[silk violet]

Well i,ve just changed the flywheel and clutch from pot type to flat flywheel and clutch... it was ok on old pot type clutch but since i,ve fitted new clutch the pedal was high with old cable so replaced with new cable still no different ....?? Is there any way that i might have but put cable in wrong on pedal or summat....??

its just adjustment that is needed. unless the clutch is tatered.

is the friction plate the right way round? was it new or used?

[silk violet]

Its a used clutch but not sure if friction plate is right way round or not ....??

Any suggestions please...????

sounds like the clutch has to be excessively adjusted to make up for the newly fitted flywheel or something.

if it works fine high up like that, maybe just pull the pedal out and give the bar a few tonks in a vice to bend it into a better position lol

[silk violet]

I know it might sound like a stupid question but would i be able to build a metal bracket that i could either bolt to back of pedal so it sits flush with brake pedal....???

Black plastic knuckle at the gearbox end of cable in correct place? Got a pic of the cable/gearbox end?

Will have to try and take some more pics soon...??
