- Many thanks to Eric for his useful tutorial, helped me gain the basic knowledge.
Check out his video: • How To Adjust A Cable ...
This video should cover multiple different car makes and models with cable fitted clutch activators.
Clutch slipping? Gear changes feel janky? Is your clutch pedal too high and uncomfortable?
This simple tutorial teaches you how to adjust your cable and change the position of where the clutch activates the drive to your wheels.
The car in the video is a Daihatsu Sirion 1.3 from 2010.
This engine is also found in many different models made by Toyota, Subaru and Perodua.
However, as mentioned, many different car makes and models will use this rubber ring screw method.
Another common method for adjusting the clutch cable will be via locking nuts. For this, you will need two wrenches, one to hold a nut whilst the other adjusts it. Similar to how I show you in this video - one rotation will loosen the cable and the other will tighten it.
I was told I needed a new cable. Thanks for saving me money.
Thank you, everybody else recommends a new clutch!
Good job bro. Put in more content . Love it
Thanks man! Means a lot, thanks for watching
Thanks for the video.
Very nice, i have a Citroen C1 2010 my biting point is almost half way up kinda annoying, can i adjust it sop i have it very far down to the floor instead? and how do i know if the clutch isnt slowly slipping or putting tention?
Yes you can, you just need to loosen the cable so you have more play. This will cause the biting point to be closer to the floor.
To be honest - your best bet is to feel the clutch operation. Does it slip whilst you are driving, do you experience a lack in acceleration after changing gears temporarily, do you struggle to get it into reverse?
Also, the mileage of your car. Normal clutch operation usually calls for a clutch replacement after 60,000-80,000 miles.
Also, run the car in neutral. Listen to the transmission, it should be silent. Press down on the clutch pedal fully. Do you hear a rattling noise? It might sound like a dodgy bearing.
This is a sign that your clutch throw bearing is wearing out. If the noise is faint and quiet, then it should be fine. If the noise is loud and squeaky, its probably an indication that your clutch plates and throw bearings need to be changed. These jobs are done together - when ordering a new clutch, it will come with a new bearing. It would be silly to replace just the throw bearing, as you might as well do the clutch plates or even the flywheel if the teeth are worn.
A low mileage car will probably just need the clutch cable adjusted. Your french car may have a hydraulic clutch, therefore the process for adjusting the cable may be different. If it is a cable, then do not worry, my video should be able to help.
