Engine & Gearbox / Clutch problems
Hi, I have a golf mk2 1.6td swapped to a 1.9 tdi, the setup still uses the original gearbox, and this happened on my clutch cable support, the cable was rubbing on the aluminum support and make a pretty nasty cut in there

I was not using the original rubber that was supposed to be between the cable and the support, I was only using the cable right on the aluminum, and I have the original intercooler so the cable was a bit twisted to the side, not working in a vertical position.

I made a costum metal washer just for now, as shown in the picture, and I adjust the cable in a way that it doesn't touch any metal no more.

I was feeling the clutch getting heavier and sometimes like it was slipping, this engine was some material applied on it and is making a decent power so i though that the clutch was actually in his end of life, also because I didn't change it since I bought this car.

Now that I fixed the clutch cable, the clutch is bitting really high, I already adjust the cable to the minimum, letting the cable go down the further possible, and now the clutch is slipping when I applied to much power, the clutch arm is already loosely, I can even move it with my hands. What you guys think do I need a new clutch or should the clutch arm go down even more (the cable is not making any tension now)?

Sorry for the long post and bad English.

Hi, im new on the forum, i dont speak fluent english, so you will get some bad grammatical errors from me, also because i dont use any translator...  I own a Golf MK2 GTD '91 with a 1.9 tdi swap, sometimes it shows a problem or two, but absolutely less than the original 1.6td.
