Hello out there....my clutch pedal action changed drastically recently and the usual is an old clutch cable giving out...well so far that is not the case and I even have removed my clutch pedal cluster thinking it was shot but now that it is out I compared it to my brand new pedal cluster on the shelf and they are identical in spring tension and other aspects...so basically my current pedal cluster is as good as new....so what to do next? I have heard of a problem with the braised in tubes in the tunnel for clutch/throttle cables that give out....can anyone please comment on this issue and how to fix? I am somewhat anxious about this repair and don't really know why....please someone tell what they know about this issue....thank you very much!!

We have also seen the inside of the tube corrode a little bit, preventing the ferule on the end of the cable from going through the tube.
Going the other way, some cables have ferules that are a little wider or longer than others. The longer ones can get stuck where the tube makes a very slight S-bend back near the firewall. --DD |
