help!!!! Clutch probs with the Granny

[mk3cokebottle]

the mk2 granada has had a manual conversion and some numpty has used a mk3 escy pedal box to do this

 

which means that everything pedal box is mk3 escy including the clutch ratchet etc....which is ok i suppose as i can get everything i need but i have fitted the new clutch ratchet as it was worn and it keeps fooking about i was outside camberley auto factors last night for 2 hrs trying different ratchets to get one that fits properly and as suggested it was only the mk3 one that fitted.

 

so now the clutch has about 3 inchs of play and it doesnt engage until it is being kicked to the floor pan lol , does anyone have any suggestions ???

 

i can see me and the granny falling out very soon if i cant get it done

no there isnt mate it isnt like any other one i have seen and i have raced a fair few lol

 

it looks like a mk3 escy pedal box and a jelly mould gearbox n cable

[toad650]

can you get some sort of spacer on the cable gear box end or fit a cable adjuster off another cable like the cappa ones?

 

You must beable to bodge sumit

[lee_capri]

y not just fit a cappa clutch cable and ajust it at the gear box end with the two nut's,you will have to check to make sure the other end' fit's in the rachet,or you can just b.d.k it
