Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Fiat +4 1986 - clutch problem

Good day.

Yesterday the clutch cable broke, but I have a new one courtesy of a suggestion by a TM member when I bought the car (thank you!). The car is at a (non Morgan) garage, and the mechanic called and said he has the new cable fitted.

But it is on the end of the adjustment, so he thinks there might be a fault in the clutch. There was no time to discuss it, and he was about to close for the weekend so will resume on Monday.

In the meantime does anyone have experience of this, and can clutch adjustments be made other than on the cable outer sheath where it fastens to the bell housing?

And if the clutch needs to come out, does it mean engine and gearbox removal?

I do not have a workshop manual, and do not know if one exists.

I vaguely remember something about a cross shaft as part of the clutch actuation on cars of this era. I cannot remember the details but there is a possibility that the cable is OK and the cross shaft brackets have moved. Its 10 years since we sold our 1985 4/4 so I don't have a reference point. Hopefully someone with a better understanding will be along in a moment.
