Dave 0 Posted March 21, 2007 I have a diesel Citroen C15 van at the mo. tHE clutch biting point is very high, almost at the top of the pedal travel. I assume the clutch is well worn and due to be changed. In the mean time, if I screw in the nuts on the cable (basically shortening the cable) the biting point will be lowered, but wil this affect anything else? The clutch wouldnt be fully releasing when I let go of the pedal, would this burn out the release bearing quickly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 70 2 Cars Posted March 21, 2007 if the clutch isnt fully releasing you will get a lot of slip in the clutch and the friction plate will die very quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,627 Posted March 21, 2007 depends if its a pull or push type box, if the pedal is high id say slacken the cable off as it sounds like a pull type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie205 1 Posted March 21, 2007 As the friction plate gets thinner it will raise the clucth pedal. You will need to slacken the cable to move the bite point lower down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Gah, I suspected I was wrong, but for some reason couldnt get my head round the mechanics of it. Thanks for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
