Hello All.
Some advice please if you would be so kind. Recently acquired a nice 900, 1998 2.0 non turbo, noticed that the clutch bite was low so after a little research found it was a common problem and could be down to the clutch cable. I took my car to a garage with the new part (Borg & Beck) and asked them to do the work. Just been to pick it up and after I had paid tried to drive away but the car wouldn’t go into gear, now I know the clutch was low to start with but the gearbox action had previously been very very smooth. When I pointed out the problem to the garage owner he forced it into gear and is trying to tell me that it it probably in need of a new clutch kit, now this may be the case but I could not help noticing a graunching noise at the bulkhead whenever the clutch pedal was being depressed, again this was not happening before I took the car in for the work.
Is there anything particular to this model that the garage owner’s mechanic may have got wrong at the pedal end to cause this graunching noise?
Any advice you can offer me will be much appreciated, apologies for the rambling first post.
Regards.
Colin.
