Clutch pedal or Clutch issues

[Walko]

Hi all

I recently changed my exhaust and as part of the process the omega spring got caught up on the new headers disassembly and modification all fixed.

Somewhere during the process or whilst the omega spring was jammed up against the header someone has pushed / forced the clutch pedal. I now have a clutch that does not return full from the half way down and will not depress.

I have checked the pedal cluster and the roll pin seems OK, I have checked the clutch cable and it seems OK.

I am assuming that it is either the clutch fork within the gbox bell housing or the pressure plate or throwout bearing.

Before I pull the motor and box does anyone have any other thoughts of what could cause the jammed pedal issue

Thanks
Michael

Post a picture of your clutch hook up/ omega spring.
Should look like this

+1 on the Omega spring maybe being the issue.

Use a screwdriver and pry the spring arm rearwards. Your omega spring/arm can be stuck in the wrong position. If the cable is good, the pedal is good, you just need to adjust the cable now.

Hi guys I have just come back from the garage and have been having a good poke around.

Firstly i removed the omega spring and the bracket it hooks up to and the clutch works (yea that means i shouldn't have to take the motor out)

I now am concerned when looking at the picture posted by pete3799 as my omega spring looks like it was sitting further back.

I have attached some pictures and hope to seek clarification

is the pin that comes out of the cast iron bracket and goes through the omega spring mean to stop at one extremity or the other on the bracket that my finger in the next picture depicts.

Is it possible that the cable stretched so far that the omega spring is not doing it job.


Any other thoughts or suggestions

I had a similiar situation and found a cracked clutch fork to be the problem.

I wished you would have posted a pic before you removed the pin.

It could have been as simple as flipping the omega back to position. What you decribed earlier tells me the Omega ring was not in the correct position that is why the poster uploaded a pic for your guidance.

Yes the cable would stretch but not that much.
