Hello y'all!
8V GTI 1996. I replaced the gearbox a few months back.
At the time, I noticed that the clutch pedal/biting
point was quite low, although I had replaced the
clutch at the same time as the 'box (might as well),
so it wasn't clutch wear. Anyway, thought it might be
the clutch cable, as they're notoriously bad (it's the
auto-adjuster version). I replaced the cable over the
weekend, and if anything, it's worse. It's quite close
to not actually disengaging the clutch with the pedal
fully depressed. I then noticed that the clutch
operating arm on the gearbox has quite a bit of
travel. This seems to be the problem. Anyone got any
ideas as to why this would be? It can't be clutch
wear, as it's only done a few thousand miles since
replacement.
Thanks all...
