"As the bracket was smashed down before this wasn't an issue"
I can explain that 2 why's easy.
1: cable is or was bad, for life of car, driver foot caused, due to bad cable. using excess force)
2: the clutch is or was bad, for life of car. (same gorilla driver with monster grade foot?)
the clutch when failing does that, it forces the driver to over clutch the clutch with deeper, foot POWER force.
the cause are simple and all classic,
1: the TOB throw-out bear is a wreak, collapsed ,burned up and will fail those ways overheated, (every inch of it) in all those ways they all do.
2: clutch PP fingers touching TOB bearing, go red hot from above, error,and are no longer real springs now, but just old soft metal levers and fail.
3; the PP is cracked or any spring of its many there bad or bent (PP = pressure plate)
4: the DISK PLATE, is cracked, once worn to the rivet heads this happens all the time.
5: the front pilot shaft or hub, the TOB sits or DISK hub sits on spline is a wreak (galled bad) and is super common. The TOB itself can be only bad, #1 or it surface it rids on bad.
6: the clutch lever fork to TOB is bad in some ways, bent or the 2 bearings on the end (bush ) are a wreck causing the fork to jam at random.
7: last and not the least this Flywheel tranny pilot shaft, bearing if bad makes even a new or good clutch seem failed , it will cause drag, until it explodes later, drag ends but disk now flops around and then damaging the front tranny main bearing.
7 ways to mess up. and common as nails.
we change the cable first for easy fix, and cross fingers..
