Honda CRX wont go in to gear?
check if it will go into gear when the engine is turned off. if it will then it is most likely that your clutch cable has become frayed or snapped. your clutch cable runs from the back of the clutch pedal through to the bell shaped clutch housing. you can also tell if its snapped by finding a piece of the cable, not covered in protective coating and gently pulling. If the clutch pedal comes back up when you take your foot off it, it's not snapped. It's either WAY out of adjustment, or your clutch is burned out. And if it's the clutch, your car will have this unbelievable stench. Now, if you push down on the clutch pedal and it goes straight to the floor and stays there, it's definitely the cable. If you DO have that stench, go to Home Depot and buy a can of Zep Smoke Eliminator. It's the only thing I've ever found that will remove the horrible smell.
How do you fit a new clutch cable to a Vauxhall Corsa X reg?
Check and record the thread length of the old cable found sticking out of the adjuster block on the clutch arm. Remove the securing clip and remove cable from the arm.Inside the car,unhook the cable end from the pedal. Pull the cable out of the bulkhead from the engine side,push the new one in the same way and hook on to pedal.Make sure the cable follows the same routing as the old one,no tight bends no chafing.Connect up to clutch arm and set threads to saved measurement,this will be somewhere near right. Inside car,measure distance from steering wheel rim to pedal and note it.Then depress clutch fully and re-measure the steering wheel to pedal distance. The difference between the two measurements should be 126mm to 132mm.If not correct,adjust the cable adjuster on clutch arm a turn at a time and recheck. You may go the wrong way first time,it's a bit trial and error.NOTE When correctly set up,the brake pedal and clutch pedal will be not be parallel,the clutch pedal will sit a bit higher.Lastly,refit the securing clip to the cable on the clutch arm.
How do you tighten a 1995 Saab 900 clutch cable?
There was a design flaw in the 95 900SE cable in that there was no provision to adjust the cable...and as you probably have found out, when it inevitably stretches it gets very hard to shift into 1st or reverse without clashing the gears. By the year after, or maybe 2 years after, SAAB changed to a hydraulic clutch design. I got another 6 months and 6000 miles on my 95 clutch cable by adding a bent fender washer as a "shim" where the clutch cable attaches to the clutch arm coming out of the transaxle. The cable sheath ends and the cable goes thru a curved slot on the arm, and ends with a short metal cylinder that pulls against the arm when you push the clutch pedal down. So I took a fender washer and cut a small slit to its center hole. I also bent the washer into a curve. Then I slipped the washer over the cable between the clutch arm and the metal cylinder. (The washer will be toward the front of the car ahead of the clutch arm.) Once you get it on the cable (with the cable thru the hole in the middle of the washer), you effectively have "shortened" the clutch cable by the width of the washer, between 1/16 and 1/8th of an inch...just enough that the shifting will be like new! I even made some extra washers in case the 1st dropped out or the cable stretched a bit more. (I never needed the extra washers.) But this is a temporary fix. When I had about 6000 miles on the repair, the clutch cable suddenly stretched A LOT, and then snapped leaving my clutch fully engaged within about 2 shifts of when the extreme stretch started. So it was tow to a Saab dealer (when there still were Saab dealers) and have a new clutch cable installed. SAAB had put out an advisory that when installing a new cable to use 2 instead of 1 washer (at the other cable end.) The tow and new cable at the dealer cost about $1000. When I could feel the replacement cable start to stretch about a year and a half later, I sold the car before I had another $1000 repair. Too bad...the 95 is a great looking, driving, and handling car, whose styling was way ahead of time, still comparing favorably with high end convertibles 17 years later. Good luck, Paul
Your 1990 Nissan trucks clutch engages almost immediately when lifting pedal from floor is there any way to adjust this?
I don't know if Nissan is the same as Ford but on my Taurus you have to lift up on the clutch pedal with your foot until you hear it clicking; that's the clutch adjustment mechanism. Try that and see if it works. This guy means if you have a ratcheting adjustment type clutch. I had one on my 86' 5.0 mustang. There are 2 other possible problems... I had a new clutch did same thing, found out the cable had stretched and I had your exact same symptom. Changed the cable, worked fine. Of course if you have a hydraulic clutch like my 96' PU then you are looking at new clutch or slave cylinder.
What would cause a 2001 Kia Rio not to engage in gear when the clutch is almost brand new?
It is interesting that you ask this, i have just experienced the same symptoms in my 2000 Rio. i continued to adjust the clutch cable, assuming that it had stretched however this was only a temporary fix and the proplem continued to get worse. Eventualy i lost all use of the clutch (dangerous situation when in traffic!!) what i found was the bracket at the pedal end of the cable had actually bent and fractured, this caused the clutch cable to break through its retainer. Not an easy problem to fix either, the cable retainer is one unit that holds all pedals and attaches to the fire wall and needs to be totally replaced! I strongly advise that you check this part carefully top ensure that yours is not bending as well, otherwise you risk losing use of your clutch unexpectedly! Hope that helps.
Is clutch pedals only found in cars with manual and automatic transmissions?

Weed wacker starts but does not spin?
Sounds like the centrifugal clutch isn't engaging or the cable is broken. I just replaced my clutch the other day. Try to loosen the screws that hold the motor "head" to the shaft and see if you can shove it farther into the head. Sometimes it will slowly pull away and the cable won't engage the clutch housing. If not then you can remove the head and check the cable to see if it's broken. If the cable is fine then you will have to partially disassemble the head to get at the Clutch. Not too hard if you still have the parts break down. I went on-line to the company and found mine. Easy way is to take it in and have them do it. Also make sure the string housing is bolted tight and not just slipping. You might just take the string housing off and see if you can see the mount turn.
Does a 1987 suzuki samurai have a hydraulic clutch?
No, all of the sj410 and samurais are mechanical cable clutchs. The adjustment for pedal free play can be found on a bracket on the passenger side of the block, just behind the motor mount.

How do you fit the clutch cable to the clutch pedal clip on a Peugeot 405?
I pieced this together from a couple of answers I found elsewhere: I think you can just replace the plastic part without taking the cable out. Check out the vectorbd archives as this has been discussed a few times. The battery does have to come out. The book does not say so but I also found it easier, to remove the air cleaner and the battery tray, which are both quite simple relative to the extra room you will gain. If it is the plastic clip that broke, just get a new one and leave the cable alone. To get the new nylon bit in, bend the metal track that the nylon clip's "finger" runs in out of the way, then when the nylon end is attached to the hook at the top of the clutch pedal, bend the track back. DO NOT try to attach the nylon link to the end of the cable yourself. Simply mount the spring metal retainer on the nylon, attach the nylon to the top of the clutch pedal and then grab the bottom of the pedal and pull it all the way up. You will hear a loud "click" when it hits the top of the travel; that is the spring metal clip engaging over the end of the cable AUTOMATICALLY. The cable end is conical for a reason: to make the connection to the cable as easy as pie. It is a five minute job, tops. Everyone should carry a spare nylon clip in their car.
