*My KE70* · by **solberg Fan** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 7:25 pm

Hey, ive got a ke70 club rally car with a sticky clutch pedal.
It has a 4k and T-50 box with disc brake rear end. It has a solid four puck clutch but i cant rember if the pressure plate is anything special... The clutch plate and pressure plate (reconditioned at the time) have only done about 1000 km ago. Probly only half of that is racing kms.

The problem is when the cars hot and only when the engines running it feels like the clutch cable is grabing or ceasing (sp??). Its fine when the cars cold. and im stalling it all the time when its hot at low revs. At high revs, 4000 plus, the clutch feels fine.
So im thinking either the pressure plate is faulty, the thrust bearings faulty or it has somthing to do with the thrust bearing geting caught sliding up and down.

Any one had any problems like this before? I realy have to get it fixed soon so the box may have to come out anyway.

Thanks

hey bro i had the same problem with my kp starlet and it ended up being the clutch cable cutting through the cable housing up where it goes thru the firewall so pull it out and have a look. if so ADL will rebuild the clutch for bout 30bucks.
if thats not the problem then im not sure wot it would be sorry.

Save yourself the hassel and convert it to hydraulic!

I have heard of a lot of cable clutch issues being the cable.

Maybe price a new one?

Pull the cable off the release fork and pedal and check it by hand, if it moves freely, your gonna have to take the box out anyway

its not a hydraulic is it?

Na its cable. Its definatly looking worn but its free as. If it was the cable it would do it all the time. Not only when the engine is warm on and at low revs .

But your right as it looks a bit dodgy it will probly pay to replace it. Any one know if it will be a standard ke70 cable?

Thanks for all your replys guys
