On my quest for a smoother less MK2-ish clutch i've come to the cable itself. It seems that the auto adjuster is a load of b**locks as it allows the clutch arm to swing both ways. After a few pushes in the opposite direction the cable adjusts and tightens up again only allowing it to move in the...

I'm changing the release bearing and as I've pulled the cover off - A long pin with a spring on the end of it has come out. It wont realign itself. Does the gearbox need to come out or is there another way of doing it? Thanks for any feedback.

Ok, so I just got a phone call regarding my gearbox refurb that's been happening. Basically, it can't be refurbed as it's so screwed. Fair enough, re-conditioned box can go in, all the problems should be sorted... But then the guy tells me that whilst they had the gearbox out, they noticed that...

Hi All, :D Since a couple of months I own a 2007 Cupra petrol, and it has something ennoying. When driving at a speed between 40 an 60 mph, the gearbox makes a whining noise. The pitch of the sound depends on the speed of the car, and it is not related to any gear. It makes the noise in 3, 4...
