Dunno if u guys can help me.... i pulled away today and after 5 minutes of gentle driving (under 4k) the clutch peddle suddenly snapped to the floor of its own accord while changing into third. It then stuck there and had to be pulled up. When i depresssed it again it took a load of effort then stuck at the bottom again. The clutch wasnt engaging any of this time so i had to drive the car back without it (not fun :s) i was figuring it was the clutch cable which had snapped, specially as its a new clutch... any ideas peeps?

Could be a few of things. needs bleeding, the release bearing isn't engaged into the cover correctly, someone forgot to replace the return spring, or the cover is faulty.

Can't think of anything else.

Mark.
