jesterwalker69 0 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Grrrr getting funking sick of my transmission related problems.Just had a new clutch fitted and hoped that was the end of problems. But driving along tonight, changed gear and *crack*, clutch disappeared into the floor.Seems i have snapped a 1cmX1.5cm plate off the pedal.So basically how hard is it to remove the clutch pedal so i can weld the plate back on?

ingham 5 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 make sure you replace the white clip in pedal or you will end up havin to take it all to bits again Link to post Share on other sites
Bigjobbo 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I've had a decent look at mine as the little c clip came off the end of the clutch pedal side. Would definately recommend taking out the drivers seat. Pedal slides off a bush when the clip is removed, clip was a twat to get back on the pivot pin, a triple jointed hand moment i think. I did do it with the drivers seat in though. As regards to a white clip thing flying off, that sounds alot like the mounting bush. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
