Fiat Cinquecento clutch cable keeps snapping
Coming home on Wednesday night and a couple of miles from the house, there is a bang and the cliuthc pedal drops to the floor. Eventually manged to
drive it home without using the clutch.
Today I replaced the cable and went to test the car and bang, the new cable goes as I put my foot on the clutch pedal, even before i started the
car.
I do not want to throw good money after bad, so any ideas for me to check before I get yet another cable? as I do not wan the same thing to happen yet
again.
cheers
Craig

Have you confirmed the new cable has definitely snapped? Did you remember to re-fit the washer and split pin on the "hook" end of the
new cable when fitting it?
The clutch gets quite a lot heavier as they wear - a clutch near the end of it's life will be very hard on the cable.
