henry.0112 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I noticed the other day that the clutch pedal in my lupo has no resistance until the last half inch or so, this cant be caused by wear because the car hasnt been properly driven for the past 6 months, has only been moved in and out of the garage and has always been fine. Does anyone have any ideas of why its doing this? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 does the clutch operate okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry.0112 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yes but only in the last half inch and its like an on off switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Has the pedal up position moved down? Or stayed the same? Is it cable or hydraulic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry.0112 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Dont think so and I believe its cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Cable stretched or about to break? where's the bite point? You need some eyes on the clutch arm on the box while the pedal is slowly pressed to see what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry.0112 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Not sure why over night it would have stretched that much but worth a try, i'll give it a shot this week and let you knkw what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Pedal box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 23 minutes ago, Pete said: Pedal box? very likely, but he said he doesnt think pedal position has changed. I was under the impression the pedal dropped a bit when the pedal box failed, but it could just be failing and not yet failed enough for the pedal to move?

Rich Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 clutch wouldn't fully operate if the box had gone. would struggle and grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry.0112 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hi, ive just tightened the nut at the end of the clutch cable and all appears to be well, but im going to take the whole cable out as i fear that it might have stretched and caused this problem in the first place.
