Hello chaps,
My cable has now snapped twice in space of 4 months, does any1 know what the cause could be? will i definetly need a new clutch to be on the safe side or could it be something else? The pedal has been bit stiff on vcold starts when it's first pressed down. Ive had the car nearly 3 years also and neva had a new clutch.any help grateful, cheers.

a fue things to help you out next time you have the gearbox off free the clutch leaver off clean it up and put a small amount of the grease that you get with the clutch kit

also change the ratchet on the pedal because it could be over adjusting

and as jd said keep a spair even if it doesnt go its always good to have one
