bones Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have found over a period of time my clutch pedal has been heading towards the floor, I have adjusted the clutch a few times thinking that the cable was stretching. I decided to replace the clutch cable to find that the cable had not stretch. Are there problems with any weak points on the clutch fork that need to be strengthened? I just thought I would ask before taking the box out to investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 You might want to check the adjustable pivot bolt at the other end of the clutch fork from the cable. I had one that the lock nut was loose and the bolt slowly wound itself out, gave the same symptoms you're describing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monzta Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 In my 15 or so years with Manta´s i have never had a fork that couldn´t hold. So i don´t think that´s where the problem is.. Do you have 2 nuts on the clutch cable attachment ? Otherwise this will also slowly work its way off. And as descriped above check the pivot bolt on the other end. There could also be some problems with your clutch arm bearing, but those tend to make alot of sound before breaking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Indeed the clutch pivot bolt had backed off and it only had one nut on it so I'll have to rectify the problem. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEPETE Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Once its all adjusted get hold of a monza 3.0 clutch fork, nice cast item, probably same as one fitted to 400s?, you can even fit the cast iron girdle (also fitted to Fronteras) to strengthen engine to bellhousing connection...
