UNABASHED Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 my missus has just called me to let me know her clutch 'snapped' while driving to a meeting and she is stranded on the M6 (make sure you giver her a wave and a beep if you pass her ). I am assuming that this means just the clutch cable has snapped? Does this mean just a new cable or a new clutch and cable? Anyone know how much a clutch cable goes for and how long it would take a garage to replace? She will be getting towed to a garage from RAC but as she's a tiny little woman they will more than likely try fleece her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 If its just the cable, then thats all you need. I had one snap on a Opel Manta many years ago and i changed it on the roadside in an hour. She got roadside assistance? Also remember i think iirc some fords use plastic parts in the clutch pedal area (like a ratchet mechanism) these have been know to break. But dont know about your model of car.

UNABASHED Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 good guess Beavis, in her words 'it's a plastic thingy somehwere thats snapped and needs putting back in'. The agarge has given her a temp fix and said it will be cheap to sort when they get the part. Alls well that end well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
