DaveK 0 Posted May 10, 2006 when the clutch goes in a car does the pedal stay on the floor of the car? (as in goes solid and doesnt move) my bros car broke down and said he heard grinding when he put the clutch down and then afwe miles later it just stayed on the floor and couldnt drive the car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrappy 0 Posted May 10, 2006 hi sound's to me like one of two thing's 1) the clutch cable has snapped or 2)the clutch release bearing has gone through the pressure plate finger's.check the first as it's the cheaper of the two if it's ok then the gearbox will have to come out to check the clutch.hope this is of help to you.

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted May 11, 2006 If the clutch pedal is staying on the floor the clutch cable has snapped I managed to snap on of the release bearing clips & the clutch pedal dropped halfway down its travel when it was resting on the cover springs.

DaveK 0 Posted May 12, 2006 im looking at the car just now and the lever that is ontop of the gearbox isnt pulling back on the clutch cable. I can move the pedal up and down with my hand but it just moves the cable not the actualy lever that its attached to. does this mean the release bearing is gone? cheers dave i can move the lever above the gearbox/clutch easily with my hand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie205 1 Posted May 12, 2006 sounds like the clucth arm has broken inside the box or the release bearing has failed or come off the arm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveK 0 Posted May 12, 2006 im presuming the only way to fix this is to take the gbox off and have a peek? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
