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 |

A couple of quick checks: is the brake fluid reservoir low? was the pedal cluster base wet? does the brake pedal work? is the brake pedal stiff to operate? All of these could suggest a seized pedal shaft.
As fiacra says, check the ground strap from the transmission to the stud under the rear trunk floor is intact; if it is really cruddy, then clean or replace. |
