3k K50 Clutch Problems

[springersrolla]

hey guys ive got a problem with my clutch, it seems its physically too long. wondering if a k40 and k50 clutch cables are different in length?. i pulled into my street the other day and the circlip popped off, pedal to the floor, changed to a new clip, it seemed to grab gears a little and not work as well as it should. Its a brand new clutch and the adjustment is all the way in to the last groove on the cable. has anyone needed to shorten there cable or am i looking at a f@$ked clutch?

Nah you need to get the cable shortened as they stretch over time. New clutches make the situation even worse. :wink:

Stick a few washers behind the circlip, or some sort of spacer until the thrust bearing is right beside the pressure plate.

 

Mine has a long takeup action, even with the thrust touching the plate I think, but you get used to it.

firewall isn't cracked or damaged where the cable mounts by any chance?
