Hi all,

I have a standard MY99 which has always behaved impeccably, however, this weekend the clutch pedal starting clicking, almost like a ratchet. It only clicks once when you engage it and the problem seems to be intermittent having nothing to do with temperature. It’s not been hammered only 18,000 miles and was just serviced.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks

Andy

There was a thread a while ago now - bloke got the dealer to look at it, without much success I think....

Mine (MY00) did it for about 5k miles, but hasn't done it for the last 4k.

Case for the X-Files me finks!

Mines been doing that for 8 months now
Been into the dealer 3 times, each time within a day or so it starts to click again.

Its kinda when you press the pedal in 1/2" or so before it actually starts to do any work, just the mech of the pedal.

If you find whats doing it, or how to fix it let me know, it drives me crazy sometimes.

Mine too, only for short whiles though, especailly when its wet ???

Had it and cured it!
The pedal arm is connected to the master cylinder pushrod by a fork arrangement with a fair size pin. It`s the fork moving slightly sideways when you apply pressure to the pedal (or in my case, as you release the pressure on the pedal just before removing your foot from the pedal)
Get on your knees and look under the dash at the pedal and you`ll see what I mean. Apply pressure with your hand to the pedal (you can check your pedal free play at the same time!) The cure is to somehow control the sideways movement of the fork. I used a very thin piece of plastic cut to a "C" washer shape and pushed this between the inside of the fork and the pedal arm (superglued to the fork ) Smear some grease around the area Hey-presto!
