[Transmission] stiff clutch gave up.
#1
about a month ago i had my clutch cable snap (berlingo 55 2.0hdi) hadit replaced but ever since the clutch had been very stiff at the bottom of the pedle (bitting point ) and a couple of days ago it freed up but i had a bad clutch judder,the next day the clutch gave up altogether depress the peddle and cant get any gears at all . so she goes in tuesday for new clutch kit . got a good deal from car parts 4 you of £107 for a luk kit BUT had a email today saying it was out of stock.so got my fingers crossed that it arrives by monday or im in the poop.

Its unusual for a cable to snap if the clutch is in good working order. Its probably the cause and the cable snapping was a symptom of a bad/sticking clutch.

Having done plenty of these over the years, I can tell you that if you fit an aftermarket cable, it usually makes the pedal very stiff , as no one seems to be able to copy them correctly.
Downside is that a genuine cable is over £100, but is the only one that functions correctly.

i think it will be the thrust bearing that is the problem. i had the same thing with my old berlingo.clutch had no problems before the cable went. mind i could be wrong.

it seems the problem was the Clutch guide tube .the clutch was in good nick. but when apart i had a complete kit as well as clutch leaver.
must say the clutch is very nice now light and smooth best ive had on my berlingos .cost a few bob but im well happy.

How about the TRW clutch cables? would think that they would be good.

Did you fit the Luk? I have ordered awaiting delivery after clutch was opened and everything found worn out. am crossing my fingers hoping for the best.

hi yes ordered the luk.as the mech recommended it. and had one fitted to my last berlingo.
the cable i fitted came from europarts.
