sounds like ur clutch cable might be streached or broken.
did it just start happening all of a sudden or your not sure also the clutch could be fubard.. the pedal should give way @ friction point. so u press it and then at a certian point it should just fall to the floor if it is springy or u dont feel it get loose. they the cable is either streached or the clutch is gone. |
