have someone step on the clutch for you and see if the "folk" moves. if it does you'll know the cable is working fine.you may want to check the cable adjuster mounted on the pedal itself.a simple test to do and find out if the clutch plate is worn out. turn your vehicle on put it in gear and just let go of the clutch (with out hitting the gas)if the vehicle stays on your clutch disc is slipping and needs to be replace.if the vehicle dies obviously the clutch is ok.
lick it
go throught the shifter plate inside the car.
It sounds like it is the clutch cable. I have a 94 Nissan Sentra and the clutch cable just broke. I have replaced one on an older Nissan, but it is still difficult for me to do on the 94. It is really hard to get the broken cable out.
$0 its hydraulic ========================================= I don't know what the cost is , but the 1997 Ford Mustang DOES have a CABLE OPERATED CLUTCH ( not hydraulic as shown in the answer above )
i dont know. over heats
No you can not because its a fluid clutch...i know some older civics could be adjusted but it's only cuz they are a cable clutch
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.
When you engage the clutch and the engine sits there spinning: it get's no traction OR when there is no pressure on the clutch pedal: pressing it changes nothing.
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)
am having the same problem with my 89 cabriolet i was told that the adjustment was 0n the clutch cable it runs from the fire wall on the drivers side to the transmission and it has a plastic nut on the end that connects to the transmission a little higher on the cable is a nut as i was told that is were you adjust it. you must have the clutch pressed down to be able to adjust it dont know if its clock wise or the other way good luck and i hope this helps ----- Im not sure the directions, but when your turning it and it goes Up, the clutch goes up, and vise versa. Just replaced mine on my 92.
On the 03 Rio there is a cable clutch. No fluid. To adjust it, just twist the nut above the tranny where the cable hooks. Once you see it, you will know what I'm refering to.
when you find that when you acelerate you hear the engine noise but cant feel the increase in speed means that clutch plate is worn and is slipping.
