Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted January 19, 2006 you can replace the arm on its own, there will be a pin through the bit thats left, try and knock that out and then the remains will lever off, pop a new arm on and replace the pin through it. In theory you dont even haveto remove the box, but it all depends on getting enough access and angle to knock the pin out and the remains off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted January 19, 2006 The later type of arm's have been redesigned to stop this happening so much, You can;t buy the arm on it's own as it's in a Kit around £35.00 from Pug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted January 20, 2006 I had this on my grey 405, a 1992 model. Then the clutch cable snapped. Shortly after that the clutch went. Gawd that car was a nightmare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
