Bad Clutch

[classic2cv]

my girlfriend has a zx turbo diesel and when i was driving it the Clutch got

harder to use and then the Clutch cable broke

with the help of a friend we change the cable and all was well

but now the Clutch problem is back and the pedal is back being rock hard

again

doea this mean a change of clutch?

any ideas?

I've had the clutch cable snap on me before in the middle of the night. Had to drive home with the clutch engaged all the way. Timing each of the changes just right so I wouldn't be left with a toothless 'box.

Now if it is just the clutch cable, you should not have to replace the clutch. The problem would be the mechanism, not the plates. It sounds like you need to replace the cable. That's what I had to do.

What I don't understand is why would the clutch pedal be rock hard. When the cable went in the AX the pedal dropped to the floor.

Best to grab your haynes, your 2-ton trolley jack, 2 axle stands and get a good look under girlfriends front end. :D
