Happy harry 0 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 basically went to change gear gear put the clutch pedal down slipped it into 3rd but when i went to come off the clutch the clutch pedal has stayed on the floor. i suspected something was up with the clutch for a while as the car was juddering abit for a while.sounds like its just the cable but will i need a new clutch aswell??also can you get mobile mechanics to come out and fix it? as i cant move it and its so low it isnt getting on a trailor.edit: doesnt have a clutch cable does it! lol so i need a new clutch basically?

Lukey. 381 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 if youre going to take the pedal out anyway you might as well just weld a better plate onto your existing pedal, i did this when it happened to me, the stock pedal as it comes is only spot welded with tiny welds, its an obvious weak point, you only need to make a better job of it and it will never happen again Link to post Share on other sites
