bloody car was at traffic lights waiting to go and bang car just jolted forward and cut out started it back up and would not go in gear i then put in gear and bumped it along and started and rammed it in gears to get home what could it be i think its either clutch ratchet or relese bearing the clutch peddle is just floping about the cable aint snapped as i checeked under bonnet on gear box so any ideas????

normally the ratchets go with a bang when you go to press the clutch and you'll hear the teeth clicking on the quadrant as the pedal comes back up. unless its fallen appart or something!

 

ive just done the clutch ratchet on mine as it snapped aswell. what a pain in the arse it is to do

 

I'd say the cable has snapped myself, the quadrant has gone on my everyday car and its still driveable, although the pedal is very poor to use.

Is there any resistance in the pedal?

 

Sounds like the cable to me aswell mate have you checked it?

 

just had a look and looks like it might be cable as i cant see 1 connected to peddle and peddle is just flopping about should be a easy fix then fingers crossed


cheers

See if you can pull the cable inner out the liner from the engine bay side.......if its gone with a bang and the pedal has no resistance i'd bet you a jam tart its the cable
