Hi all,
My clutch is hard to disengage, with the clutch cable end spaced out a bit from its mounting plate i can just about use it, but its biting point is about a cm off the floor.
So i guess i need to do the infamous pedal mod.... question is, what have i got fitted (pic below) it has the bolt to adjust pedal height, i didn't think the mk4 had this from the factory, so has a previous owner changed something already.

Also, specifically what parts do i need for the conversion, I've read up about a few people using the mk5 pedal with mk4 quadrant.... how would this increase travel?
Cheers all

cable for cars with ABS is 1294mm
cable fo cars without ABS is 1248mm
These are for RHD cars as yours, Mine is LHD and the non ABS clutch cable was arround 30-35cm sorter! massive difference

Thanks for the cable lengths, maybe i have fitted the wrong cable (too long)....
That is the pedal conversion assuming the a mk5/6 quadrant has been used as well (should be white and cut down by 10 teeth IIRC), cable should be a single piece one not the two piece one, the bolt should give the adjustment as mentioned.
Rob,

i`m thinking of using the mk2 (i think) transit cable, apparently its fully adjustable so can do away with the crappy ratchet alltogether. need to look in to it more though.

where the clutch fork is on the box threaded end slots through with a plastic D shaped bush. two nuts on the end so adjust up and lock off.
was thinking hydro but an adjustable cable sounds like less bother and more reliable to me. like i say need to look in to it a bit more.
