Hey guys!
So while driving my 140 I started noticing more and more play in the clutch pedal; up until there was nothing on the first half of the pedal stroke. At that point putting the car in gear from neutral at a stop was impossible, and shifting on the move required rev matching. I figured the clutch cable was stretched and on the verge of breaking, so I replaced it. The new cable needed to be set at the end of it's adjustment in order to achieve the proper play of about 1 inch at the top. It drove fine for about 2 miles before the same thing started happening- more and more play in the pedal until it was almost undrivable. So I jacked the car up, checked everything, and didn't find anything wrong. I made a spacer to put on the end of the cable, which solved the issue for about 15 or 20 pushes of the pedal, and I'm back to square one. do the cable keep stretching out? or is it a different issue?
Thanks!
