First thing I would do is check if its cable or hyd. If it is a cable, check to see if clutch cable housing is not rusted up causing cable to bind up.If pressure plate is warped it could cause it to be stiff
Well cable could be froze up. Replace the clutch cable. If cable is working adjust cable. If the clutch cable is adjusted then it's time for a new clutch
Get under car near the rear wheels and you will see a cable coming from each wheel; this is your E-brake cable. Gently tap the pivot points and you should be able to free it up unless you are dealing with a rusted cable. Once you free it up, spray a lubricant at the points of the problem. If cable continues to be a problem you will need to replace it. I hope this helps you. Mark
hey it is called calling the cable box company and asking them that is how I did it
pull on it. The sheath takes up slack... makes the cable shorter.
Actually , the clutch on a 1996 Ford Mustang is not hydraulic , it is operated by a cable so there isn't any clutch fluid
I believe they are all cable but I'm not positive on that. I know the base is a cable. A way to tell is look at the enigine from the front, have a friend push the clutch in while you are looking at the top of the trans (below the area between the air box & engine) look for a cable attached to a metal arm it should move up when he pushes in the clutch, there's your cable.
go under the car with a 14mm spanner and undo the adjustment nut, also undo the nut that passes thru the clutch lever (sticks out the side of the gearbox) Slide the end of the cable out of the fork, and then remove the 14mm locking nut that holds the sheath of the cable in postition. This completes the 'clutch' size of the cable. Then using a 10mm spanner remove the 2 bolts/nuts in the engine bay where the clutch cable run into the cabin. In the drivers footwell stick your hand up and unhook the hook on the end of the cable off the top of the clutch pedal. Install is reverse of removal but requires you to tighten the clutch cable by tightening the nut on the clutch end of the cable. (you will know when you see it)
Measure the clutch free play at the tip of the clutch lever (3/8" - 3/4" max) **Not within limits; may need new cable. Adjust free play with lock nuts at the handle. Turn adjuster up to decrease free play and down to increase free play. There is also a lower adjustment down near the heat sheild for the tailpipe coming across the motor. Turn adjuster up to decrease free play and down to increase free play.
It may be as simple as an auto adjustment. If you have installed a new clutch/ clutch cable. If it is auto adj all you have to do is lift UP on the clutch pedal with your foot while driving.
To replace the clutch cable on a 1989 Mitsubishi Triton from the foot pedal to the motor you need to secure the vehicle with blocks behind all of the tires. Next, you will need to life up the frame to give you enough room to get under the vehicle safely. Remove the clutch cable from the motor first and follow it up to the foot pedal. Remove the cable from the foot pedal area and then attach the new cable.
Sounds like the clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced - if cable was stretched clutch would not disengage and vehicle would creep in 1st gear and shifting would be difficult
