[QUOTE="TerminatoRS, post: 16350623, member: 195778"] I'm surprised none of the gurus have jumped in on this. Here goes nothing! My first suspicion is the clutch cable. Like you said, it's a common culprit that's cheap and simple to replace. Plus they're known to stretch and eventually break over time anyway. If it's got too much play in it, the clutch won't be able to fully disengage. I'd inspect it all the way from the top of the clutch pedal down to the trans for any fraying or binding. I can't remember for certain, but I'm pretty sure the stock cable isn't adjustable at the firewall assuming you don't have anything aftermarket in the mix. However, on the clutch fork end of the cable, there are threads and a nut that will allow for adjustment. If it were me, I'd tighten it a couple turns and see what happens. Don't go crazy. A small adjustment goes a long way. If that solves the issue(s), my next move would be ordering a new OEM cable before this one breaks. [/QUOTE]
