clutch cable fork - pug306driver - 25-01-2016

Whilst the car is vor and stripped, does the clutch cable fork "bolt" look right?

Have exploded view of this area which is not that clear, and reference to the Haynes manual, which shows the pull type ( ours being the push type of clutch with drawl method ) clevis pin and shaft, which has a hole, what is the arrangement for our car??

Does it have a central ish hole in the shaft that goes  into the clutch bell housing, like in the Haynes manual suggests, or does the threaded "bolt" or stud in the picture screw right thru the shaft and go into a corresponding hole in the other side of the clutch cable fork??

I cannot see the hidden side of the clutch fork to check.

Is the "bolt" or threaded pin sticking out too far, ie not in far enough??

All help greatly appreciated.

Looks ok to me, but could probably tap through a little more. It just goes through the other side of the arm through a corresponding hole there.

They seize in pretty badly as they're only removed to change fork bushes (so never on most HDis!) so easier to remove with more thread showing, it doesn't need removing to remove the gearbox like on XUDs.


RE: cluch cable fork - pug306driver - 25-01-2016

Thanks Tom but the "bolt" has a thread, cant tell if there is a drive "flat" or allan hole  on the end showing, but will try 2 lock nuts and see if it screws in more, unless otherwise informed.

ps finally got the hang of inserting pictures at last!


RE: cluch cable fork - Toms306 - 25-01-2016

Nah it's flat in the middle, that thread is only so you can tighten a nut onto it to force it backwards out of the hole. It just taps in, but really it doesn't matter, your clutch arm obviously hasn't fallen off so must be in enough lol.

It's not threaded all the way down - the part that goes through the arm and fork is smooth, with the M7 threaded end there solely to remove it. As such, you won't be able to screw it in/out.

Mid removal with the correct pin removal tool there lol... But hopefully you can see how short the thread is in that pic. Looks like Alan has described it better than I can anyway lol.


RE: clutch cable fork - pug306driver - 25-01-2016

So a tap fit into the fork, thru the shaft an into the other side of the fork?

A tap fit so it dont rattle out?

And the threaded section to use nut ( and tube ? ) and draw ( pull ) the tap fit pin out?


RE: clutch cable fork - welshpug - 25-01-2016

threaded section is to attach a slide hammer, the pin is smooth bar a few splines on the threaded end to stop it falling out, later ones have a spring clip.


RE: clutch cable fork - pug306driver - 25-01-2016

ah, now i see and understand, thanks thanks thanks. all is now clear.


RE: clutch cable fork - Toms306 - 26-01-2016

Isn't it only the pull type that have the spring clip? I've never seen it on a HDi/1.8 but always on GTi6/XUD.
