#1: Clutch adjuster cable Author: iggyyl, Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 4:28 pm ---- Clutch is making a clicking sound and then wont go into gear, I know it's the adjuster cable but how do I fix it do I need a whole new cable or do I literally just adjust it?? Sorry if any of this sounds silly I'm still learning!! But would be good if it just needs adjusting as it's obviously free! Also, if I carry on driving it like this will it wreck anything?? I'm still driving it now as it only happens every so often but just wondering as people on here have probably had experience of this?

Press clutch pedal to the floor. Slide your foot off the pedal sideways so that the clutch pedal flies back towards you. That will sometimes release a sticking adjuster.
Get you leg out of the way before you slide your foot off the clutch. It darned hurts when the pedal hits you in the shin!

#9: Re: Clutch adjuster cable Author: iggyyl, Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 6:44 pm ---- How will I know if it's fixed? If you get my drift as it doesn't make the clicking sound all the time

A few other posts here and it worked for my daughters car. Bought cheap because seller thought clutch was going. Did the cable trick and clutch has worked perfect ever since.
