justin666 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Hiya Just wondered if anyone else has this and if its the "norm".. Only really noticed it today but when the clutch pedal is depressed its possible to actually move the pedal from side to side... We are only talking a slight movement here, maybe half an inch or so but def able to wobble it a tad.. Everything else if fine, clutch engage, disengage, gear change, everything perfect, its just the wobbly feel of the pedal when its depressed... Planning on wedging myself down in the foot well tomorrow at some point to have a look how it all works and see if I can see where the play is coming from. In the mean time tho, just wondered if anyone else has it or has noticed it as I haven't been able to find any other info on it.. Cheers J.

alroma Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah, mine does this too. Don't know if it's the norm, but you're not alone! I had a bit of a look and it seems to be the whole pedal assembly that moves, but I couldn't see the point of attachment. Let me know if you fare any better!

justin666 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 well good to know im not the only one To be honest I don't notice it at all when driving along normally and bombing up and down the box... But today, Stuck in a bit of traffic and it just became noticeable. I guess aswell im used to very heavy pedals and a very direct feel on the clutch with previous cars where the 370 is a little vague with the feel.. That and the paranoid feeling I get when ever I buy a car Anyways, I will do some general prodding and poking tomorrow and see what I can see.. Cheers J.

370Ad Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Has the pedal still got the helper spring? I have removed mine and its is a lot more responsive now. A real mans clutch pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin666 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Spring is indeed still in mine and altho I know that improved the pedal feel, that's not really the problem.. (Altho the spring will be coming out cause I do like to be able to feel what the pressure plate is actually doing) Before I do that to I want to establish if this side to side movement in the pedal assembly is normal? Tomorrows job now tho as ended up washing the car instead today 370Ad (Apologies for not knowing your name mate)... When you put your foot down on the clutch pedal, can you physically move the pedal from side to side or is it just rock solid straight up and down? Cheers J.

In mine there was no side movement that you could notice when the spring was there. Once removed it is now apparent the clutch pedal can move from side to side. So maybe not the best action plan with yours! Sorry My name is Adam BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin666 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Cheers Adam Okies.. So had a look today and the wobble appears to be caused around the helper spring along with any support that seems to give. Unpinned at one end so the spring is unattached and still the same amount of side to side movement... So.. Firstly that means there shouldnt be any further adverse affect from me removing the spring Result! Secondly, that would suggest that either pins, the spring casting where the pins go through or the mouthing point on the pedal or assembly "could" be worn slightly, therefore allowing for the extra play.. So either they do wear or its just normal! Anyways, for now its back together (mainly cause I wanted to see if I could get it back together!!!) and further investigations (or removal of the helper spring) will re-commence next weekend but to be honest im prob just gonna ignore my oversensitive left foot and just enjoy driving the thing instead Edited June 1, 2014 by justin666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
