    Clickin clutch pedal/cable?

    My 86 GLI has a self adjusting clutch cable which I just installed. I was replacing a manually adjusting one which was clicking when I pushed the clutch in & depressed. It is still clicking after new cable install... I have checked out all I could and it seems the sound is coming from the firewall.. There is nothing catching it the only thing I can think of is that I am missing a rubber piece or something... Can anyone help me out with some advice to fix this problem?

    Worn out of a throughout bearing?

      Not sure if this applies in this case, but I had to replace the pedal bracket on my MkII when the clutch cable started to make strage noises. Like you, I replaced my cable, checked everything, and said WTF? I got a used pedal bracket for like $20 and spent a LOT longer than anticipated. Install was a PITA, but the problem never came back. The pivot point on my old pedal bracket was bent from age and use (that's what we'll say).

      Cheers.

      I'd spend more time with my girlfriend, but she's only naturally aspirated.

        One more things - my Golf was also a 1986

          I never had that problem on my 85, yet the diesel was so noisey that bet I missed half the small noises it made.

            I agree. On my 91 GTI, I had to replace the pedal assembly as well. It solved the noise problem/sticky clutch movement problem that I had. The part is cheap. Unfortunately it is a PITA to install.

                Dude - that's so funny! My '86 was also loud and it wasn't even a diesel! Ahhh . . . those were the days. If I could find a 'new' '86, I'd buy it.
