This one has me scratching my head. The car had the manually adjusting cable when I bought it. Drove fine, shifted fine, then one day became increasingly hard to get into gear until at the end of that day it failed to engage the clutch altogether. At the time I didn't know the cable was manually adjustable otherwise I would have had tried adjusting it prior to removal.
The car came with one of the self-adjusting cables in the hatch, so I put it on and it wouldn't come anywhere near to engaging the clutch. So, I went online and ordered a new Febi manually adjusting cable and fitted it. Even with the cable correctly routed, there was still enough slack at the transmission end to leave the rubber stop that hooks onto the fork dangling and easily removable from the fork. Even if I adjust the cable so far out that the adjuster becomes unthreaded, I still have a ludicrous amount of slack in the cable.
I saw one picture where someone had fitted some washers (not many, maybe 1/2-3/4" worth) between the rubber stop and the washer at the end of the cable to take up slack at the transmission end. Well, I attempted this and ended up using a solid 3" worth of slotted fender washers to no avail. Plus, every time I try the clutch out it seems like the cable stretches and I'll have to add another couple of washers. There's no way this is correct. I got the cable from eeuroparts and it looks identical to the one I removed, so I know it's the right part.
Any ideas?
