New to the 914 world. Appreciate all the help I received on my distributor problem.
Now to my new dilemma. After working on the distributor, I took the car for a Run. Drive fine. Came home and parked it in the car port and covered it up. Next day, I decide to go for another drive and the clutch pedal is hard as a rock and won’t budge. I jacked up the car and see that the cable runs under the headers. It seems to be wrapped in some heat proof tape but wondering if it’s possible for the rubber sheath to have melted and fused to the cable? Would be grateful for any testing procedures. Thanks, Tony |

Not saying this is it, but be sure to check your grounds. If your transmission to body ground has failed the clutch cable becomes the ground. It can then heat up and fail. I haven't heard of it fusing, but I suppose that is possible. A well known problem. You'll find lots of threads on this.
Good luck! |
