Removal

1. If the clutch cable is to be installed again, the adjusting mechanism must be compressed and held in the compressed position with a locking band. For this purpose, if available, a locking belt is used, with which the adjusting device is fixed in the compressed position before installing the cable. Only the eye of the locking belt (arrow) is cut.
2. Press the clutch pedal all the way down several times.

3. Place the eye of the stop belt (arrow) above the protective cover.
4. Remove the clutch cable from the support bracket.

5. Pull the clutch cable out of the plastic connection (1) of the rubber shock absorber until it stops in direction (2). This will compress the adjusting mechanism.
Attention! If the cable cannot be pulled to this position, the adjustment mechanism is faulty. In this case, cut the cable with pliers and remove the nipple from the mount.

6. In this position, place the loops of the stopper belt on the pins (arrows) on both sides of the adjustment mechanism. An assistant is required for this.
7. Remove the cable from the release lever.
8. Remove the cable from the clutch pedal inside the car.
9. Remove the rubber shock absorber from the support on the gearbox and remove the cable.
Installation
1. Always replace the clutch cable together with the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism on new cables is compressed with a locking tape.
Caution! Do not bend the clutch cable, otherwise the operation of the adjustment mechanism may be impaired.
2. Place the cable on the release lever.
3. Insert the rubber shock absorber into the cable guide on the gearbox.
4. Insert the cable into the front wall and place it on the clutch pedal.
5. Insert the cable into the guide of the support bracket.
6. Remove the locking belt from the adjusting mechanism and check the clutch drive.
Examination
1. Press the clutch pedal at least 5 times until it stops.
2. Pull the clutch cable sheath of the plastic connection (1) approximately 10 mm in direction (2) – see. higher. The braid should move freely.
3. If the operation check needs to be performed multiple times, then the clutch pedal must be depressed each time first, since the adjustment mechanism is locked after each check and therefore cannot be compressed.
Caution! Do not open the automatic adjustment housing, as it cannot be reassembled.
