Clutch fork?

[fixkick]

I just needs a new cable
its easy fix.
that slack up top , of pedal is ALL wrong.
my guess, the cable is long ago worn out inside, binds and caused the top of pedal deal and makes doing free play impossible (like the all do about 150k miles)
its $25 fix.
happy holidays !

A little more info after reading posts on here....I have not done the one inch test. The shift lever does feel a little loose to me. I drive a stick shift everyday and have my whole life so I am used to the feel of one. I can start the car in gear with the clutch in but it will roll slightly. When adjusted it will start, upshift, down shift, and go into reverse with no grinding or slipping. It used to last about a month before not shifting. Now it is about three to four days.

Great! That's an easy one. I will give it a try.

if the car rolls when in gear, (1st or Rev) clutch to the floor (flat ground) that means the clutch is dragging.
1: free play wrong.
2: cable bad preventing above (they all do it at 150k miles or so)
3: the clutch is bad.

#3 is 10 hours hard labor, 4wd, and $200 cost. (for most folks DIY its a lost weekend this job, even with parts in hand)

the 1inch rule tells me what is wrong, 1,2,3.
but only if it play is gone, the free play in the pedal is about 1/2"
the pedal ratio is about 6:1 or in ours maybe 3:1?, so the lever play at the pedal is 1/3th of 1/2"

try to understand, the cable inside, deep gets rut grooves inside that totally mess up clutch actions and freeplay adjustments. totally.
its $25 and 1hr work.

here is the official page on this, Suzuki

the bottom play is 5mm, or 0.197" or about 3/16" play but if the cable binds, it cant be set.

to do the 1inch rule
set the play to zero
then move your foot on the pedal and see that the lever below moves, 1 for 1, in that there is no take up slack
if the lever moves 1inch, with zero play for sure, then the linkage is ok but not the actual clutch.

keep in mind actual clutches can warp in 3 places. or crack in many, and cause drag. (if blown many up.)
but that cable is first, if pedal is not cracked, end to end, nor its end pivot not stripped out.(splines)
keep i mind all cables fail
all do;
and when they do, the drivers, force the pedal and damage gets worse., pedal , and splines wrecked. or worse. fire wall cracked.

I hope this helps.... do ask questions
and happy holidays!!!
