C900 clutch pedal linkage play affecting Cruise Control

Yep. The CC on my 1992 didn't work for years, until one day I got ambitious and re-soldered every contact on the CC circuit board. That fixed it! Well, it worked for a few weeks anyway. Maybe someday I'll get ambitious again and have another go at it.

I find that the switches on the brake and clutch need to be periodically repositioned. Also I have had to plug in the speed sensor on the back of the speedo a couple of times. this is accessed through the speaker grill.

The pin you're talking about can be replaced; but you can't buy one on its own. You either need to find a good used one, or buy a new clutch master cylinder.

Having said that, your chances of replacing it in situ without losing clutch fluid are very slim. As such, I'd take this opportunity to replace the master cylinder, or at least rebuild it with new seals.

Grunff yeah I was told by my auto electrician brother in law it was the slave, hence the (?) as it made more sense for it to be the master...

I don't think it's the pin, more the holes in the u-shaped bit of the link, but I haven't actually checked. If it is the pin I'll get one made for nothing by my lathe crazy Dad! If its the U link, I'll bodge it with correctly sized washers and epoxy. Not spending =A350+ for a bit of clutch play!

I haven't sourced a new cruise switch yet so it's pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks for the input, always appreciated.

By pin I meant the rod with the bracket through which the 'pin' goes. This rod pushes the piston.

I wouldn't go down the washer route myself, unless you weld them on. I'd be more inclined to pick up a cylinder from a scrap yard.

And get the switch from said scrap yard at the same time as the cylinder :-)

Always welcome.
