ajones12 0 Posted January 18, 2006 I am currently trying to rebuild the engine bay in my H-plate 1.9 following a clutch change and need some help......... When I was taking everything off, a mate removed the clutch cable assembly from the lever arm that moves the thrust bearing and I have no idea how the cable re-attaches to te gearbox including the bracket that seems to provide some rotational movement. Does anyone have any pics of diagrams of how the whole thing fits together???? I'm a bit new to this game... Any help is gratefully received! Aaaarrrrggghhh........

Rob_the_Sparky 10 Posted January 18, 2006 Would be helpful to know whether you have a BE1 (lift up reverse) or a BE3 (reverse opposite 5th). Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted January 18, 2006 Prolly BE3 on H plate 1.9 Replaced cable on my 1.9 H plater recently - tricker than it looks at the first attempt! There is a plastic grommet at the g'box end of the cable which clips into the alloy casing behind the clutch arm (helps to route the cable) - then the cable passes through the clutch arm and you've got another grommet and a big washer which you tighten the two nuts up against Hope that makes sense enjoy!

ajones12 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks for the info. I also have a bracket dangling from the cable - where does this go? I assume it connects to the gearbox somehow. I will try and take a picture tonight to clarify what I mean!!! Thanks again. Alun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted January 19, 2006 The only other bit that could be dangling is the grommet that pushes up into the bulkhead behind the brake servo - but that's secured to the outer cable at the clutch pedal end and can't have made it's way to the other end of the cable; the cable is also secured to the bottom of the subframe about mid way along its length - usualy by a split pin thingy Have a look in the Haynes manual or try doing a search on here - I remember seeing some fairly detailed explanations somewhere on the search facility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajones12 0 Posted January 20, 2006 I took a picture last night of the bit I'm trying to explain! Having spoken to a few guys at work, I'm wondering if this bit connects to the lever arm within the gearbox to move the thrust bearing etc. How do I insert an image into a posting for you all to see?

ajones12 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Thanks for the tip Keith. I've been off work for a week and haven't been able to get to a PC to log on. The clutch cable is now on the lever arm - now I know what that little pin is for!!!! Presumably to hold it in place i need to adjust the tension in the clutch cable?? Alun.
