Fiat Cinquecento Sporting- Clutch cable

In this video I change the clutch cable that is pretty close to snapping and are making the car very unpleasant to drive.
I have also fixed a hesitation issue that I was having with this car.
Even though the Novitec turbo conversion seems to be off the table, it is still a wonderful little and very fun car to drive.

I see Denmark is currently "enjoying" the same weather as we are in the North East of England right now - bloody awful lol

Yup.... The winds are getting pretty intense...

I have a right hand drive seicento same cable system and size only difference being is there is a deviator rod between the pedal and cable. Same problem just like the Cinquecento and not one mechanic here in Italy can sort this out 🤔

This video came up again 🤗 as im struggling to change the clutch on the driveway, every bolt is seized, found rusty brake pipes and a hole in the rear beside the tank hose. Also the springs and shocks look very rusty😭

Ah the snowball effect...

I have a fiat panda from the 2006 and it has the same system of the clutch. And the clutch pedal is harder than other that i have used. Can it be adjusted or is better changing the cable like you have done?

[@SeasideGarage]

It could maybe be greased to make it lighter, but the best is to change the cable... it will snap at some point..
But it could also be the clutch.

hi, I have a problem with my seicento... My clutch seems isn't working properly in the meaning that with the clutch pushed all the way down the gear are a little bit hard (like the clutch isn' completely detaching the gear) how can I pull a little bit more the cable? Is that necessary to tight or release a little bit the nut to get it working properly?

[@SeasideGarage]

You need to thighten it.... but it could be worn clutch.

I recently changed mine but it’s a right hand drive car so it’s not fun, had to remove the bottom half of the dash😢

[@pedrofigueiras8053]

Hello :) the clutch went back to being light and smooth? Mine is with the same symptoms and the throw out bearing seams fine, as I don't hear any noise from that

[@SeasideGarage]

Yes ! the problem was fixed.

[@SeasideGarage]

[@terryatkinson3182]

My cars are right hand drive so cable will be under the battery tray 🙃

[@SeasideGarage]

Ah... thats a bit more work then... ;)
