hi there, i have a diesel gearbox fitted to my fiesta and to change the gear you have to put your foot into the carpet and the biting point is just as low, could the clutch be gone? an the speedo decides to drop every so often, any ideas

 

sounds like yuo need to reset the rachet and let it re set it self

 

my old escort rst was like this wen i bought it. i just replaced the clutch cable and it was fine. must have been a stretched cable, might be the same for yours?

 

how do u do that jay??

 

your have to get ys finger up the back of the pedal and push the arm up and get the quadrant round and them let the rachet arm down again, push on the cluch a couple of times, slow and easy, dont boot it to the floor, and let it set it self, if the rachet it self has worn teeth it will slip back round and make no diffance.

im not saying this will sort the problem but it has for me before in the past on one of my first fiestas as well as a couple of mates fiestas, other times ive had to replace it, its worth a shot at least
