#1: Clutch pedal problem!! Author: raa57, Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2014 4:21 am ---- Hi Guys,
I have an 2005 1.4 and over the last couple of days when i press the clutch the pedal starts to depress the clutch as normal but after about an inch of travel there's a loud cracking sound from the pedal and the pedal bangs to the floor with no resistance leaving me unable to change a gear ,
When i release the pedal and press it again it works fine,
It has done this twice about 3 days ago and last night on the way home from work it did it about 5 or 6 times.
Is this a sign the cables about to snap or what?
I rely on the car for work so was considering replacing the whole clutch and the cable but just thought i would ask on here first in case it was something silly i am not spotting
Regards Terry

yeh thats what it feels like,have bought a complete clutch and cable as well but think i will try just changing the cable and see ,least i have a clutch there waiting for the future
it has been suggested from another forum that my problem is this but i struggle to believe thats the problem

Sounds to me like the bearing has worn through the diaphragm springs on the pressure plate.

I don't believe that to be the problem either because the tell tale sign of the release bearing being at fault is a squealing noise which may be heard whilst the pedal is depressed but once pressed, it is significantly louder. I had the same problem with the clutch cable and also had a faulty release bearing so have had experience with the two.

If you don't have all the above changing the cable is a b***h!
I can do it in 15 mins (having done a few now) but the first one was about 4 hours.
