Personally, I had change my clutch cable 2 times during my entire ownership of the car and I am planning to change for the 3rd time soon. Recently the clutch have behave strangely and I worry the clutch cable is rubbing against the internal rubber coating. Maybe after changing my clutch to a more heavy clutch resulting an increase of tension on the clutch cable during operation.

Did the clutch feel any different when you changed the cable? Softer?
ReplyDeleteYou wont be feeling softer. Instead smoother. Soft or hard mostly depends on the clutch and pressure plate condition.
ReplyDeleteI just changed my clutch, release bearing and pilot bearing but left the old pressure plate. The clutch is still pretty heavy compared to other ignis sports. Wondering if it could have been the cable since i have never replaced it since owning the car
ReplyDeletedo you have blackberry?
ReplyDeleteI think it cost little to change the clutch cable and can be done easily. Just change it.
ReplyDeleteMy clutch is very heavy / stiff. I'm not sure if its a performance clutch or not, my Ignis Sport has done 73,000 miles and I believe it has never been changed. Do you think the whole clutch needs replacing or should I just try the cable first? Or possibly do them both at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYou can try to replace the cable first. If the heavy clutch still there, then its better to change your clutch, pressure plate and clutch release bearing. Sometimes the clutch release bearings are dirty and it make the clutch heavy.
