Clutch and Gearbox mechanic inner Sydney?
Hi there,
Can anyone recommend a good clutch+gearbox mechanic or someone familiar with Escorts in inner Sydney (I'm in Petersham)?
Here's why.
The clutch doesn't disengage the gears fully when depressed (there's more). It was fine when I first installed the new cable, then a couple of months later it needed adjusting, then a few month later adjusting again (continue this for 9 months), now the clutch cable is right at the end of its adjusting range and has finally rendered my van almost undrivable. 1st is a battle of strength to engage and we crunch gears a lot. At first I thought the cable might have stretched a bit, because it was new... but it couldn't have stretched 3 or 4 inches! Also, I don't know if this is related but there is a chronic shuddering through the drive train when I reverse.
I feel like this might be expensive, but don't have anywhere to conduct the work myself at the moment. It'd be swell to get a reading of the situation from the brains trust here, so I might help an unfamiliar mechanic in the right direction perhaps.
Cheers guys, look forward to your insight. ;)
