abbot Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I went for a pootle around Paris yesterday. Roof off, no doors and it started to pi$$ it down. It seemed to make some people very happy on a dull afternoon. Anyway while creeping through slow traffic I noticed that the when the clutch pedal was half way through its travel there was a Click sound. Is this a sign sign of the imminent demise of the CRB or do I just ignore it. I am planning to take the car to the UK next week and will be going up to Leeds so I would like to know if anyone has a similar experience.

Mankee Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Does the click come from the pedal itself or the clutch? My brake pedal does something similar, but it's the oiite bush that is causing the noise I think. My car is a 1997 with cable clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 CRB normally does not click unless it is repeated. It's more of a squeak when the CRB is on the way out. Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billyboy Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Half way through the clutch pedal action may indicate the point at which the mechanism is at its full load - IE taking the full load of the diaphragm spring of the cover plate and maybe at this point the Body / mounting for pedal and more so the backstop for the cable is having a tiny flex. Have a second person sit in the car while you feel around the bulkhead area for a flexation in the panel - as long as it happens while stationary that is 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextangent Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I have the same symptom and it's the cable moving to a new position. Under light loads, the cable stays still; when the load rises (just at the "bite" point) the cable shifts to a new position ever so slightly, and the internal length reduces by a fraction, hence the pop you feel through the pedal as the inner adjusts to the new outer position. On an xflow, it goes round a considerable bend, which probably exacerbates it. Alex McDonald Loud, louder, loudest... 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
