Sticking Clutch

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Andrew Davenport, Dec 1, 2005.

  1. Hi All,

    I have a slight problem and wondered if anyone could help.
    My clutch is very stiff and seems to stick 3/4 of the way down and then
    release.
    The sticking point requires a lot of effort to get past and and makes a loud
    clunk noise. Once down the clutch operates as normal.
    I have already replaced the clutch cable which seemed to improve the
    situation a little bit but has not cured the sticking.

    Thanks in advance
    Andy

    Check the path the cable takes.it might be hooked up some place,or could
    be a bent lever.or the clutch release lever might be rubbing on the box.
    so it looks like u will have to have a good at it ,so good luck. from

    sounds like it is in the box or at the lever.

    I have already checked the cable path and all seems clear, if i disconnect
    the clutch end and test it moves freely!!

    Cheers

    That sounds like a problem with the diaphragm spring. It's snapping -don't
    mean breaking, like a clicky frog toy (if anyone remembers them) instead of
    operating smoothly.
    Replacement clutch time.
