After the clutch cable just went limp one day and left me stranded, I let the car sit for about 6 months as I've DIYed everything else except for transmission issues. Finally got a garage to look at it and they diagnosed it as a failed clutch cable. They replaced it and I drove it for about 3 days. The clutch felt great to me with the exception of a severe rattle whenever I took my foot off of it. The third day was the real test, as I had to do a lot of driving for my job. About half way through the day the clutch failed again. I had to turn the engine off to get it in first and start the car in first, shift to 2nd without the clutch and 2nd geared it to the same garage which was luckily very close. My concern is that if something else is causing the clutch to fail, then this small repair is going to soon add up to a huge one. I'd prefer to know what some clear causes are. I love this car and have fought hard to keep it on the road. Oh, the entire clutch failed about a year aga and I had it replaced. Also, it's a 96 900se turbo
