| Post subject: | Vitara clutch question |
Gday guys i just went for a drive up the road and my clutch cable has snapped 
Anyways i just wanted to know if this is a fairly normal thing to have happen, ive been driving suzukis for nine years and haven't snapped one yet 
Also the bearings are fucked in my gearbox(im just waiting for my new one to be built)and in the last four weeks its been really hard to change into 1st 2nd and 3rd could this be a related problem??? Cheers Joe |

I went through 4 in 5 months when I had that stupid heavy duty clutch in it 
might be hard to shift cause the cable had stretched so the clutch wasnt engaging properly |

I've done simliar in my silvia except a broke the whole frame holding the pedal. Take it out, weld it, refit it and you're good to go. |

my ute snapped the accel pedal up top like that, so i swaped to a 1.3 item and fitted boosted brakes. It was a major pita to remove and refit the pedal box assembly. |

undo the nut on the end of the cable a bit and it will engage closer to the floor |

Same. Its more likely cable adjustment than clutch wear. |

Yep i have undone it as far as it will go If i undo it any more it will come off |

your screwed then
actually its pretty good, I had trouble getting enough adjustment in mine, it might sort itself out a bit once the cable stretches a bit |

Went for a drive down to Bunbury today and when we got down there the clutch started to slip when loaded up
So i pulled over to find gear oil driping from the bellhousing so i thought gear oil on the clutch would be causing it to slip so we turned around to limp home Made it about five km from home and then when we stoped at the last roundabout i went to take off and the car just wanted to stall
After five mins Tasbrad came to tow me home and we found that the only way to move the car was with my foot on the clutch, it didn't matter if it was in neutral or not it would just clunk and bang
Ive got a new box getting built now so the oil leak or the clutch slipping doesn't bother me, but i just wanted to know why the car wouldn't move unless i had the clutch in
I was thinking the gearbox has siezed up, what do you guys think???? |
