gareth.

Your clutch should be nice and light when you depress the clutch pedal.

If not, then i would suspect that your clutch has a faulty release mechanism. I would suspect the release bearing.

The other problem could be with how you are fitting the new cable. I went through 3 on an old renault 19 as they were a pig to fit. A genuine renault cable sorted it. Maybe same problem with non genuine part?

Have you tried lubricating the pivot?

Have you tried lubricating the pivot?

:iagree:

that's the first thing i'd do.... it's a gearbox out job tho:O

Look at the bit where the end of the cable goes into the gearbox, get a spray can of WD-40 and get some to keep depressing the cable as you spray in round it
