sounds like ur clutch cable might be streached or broken.

did it just start happening all of a sudden or your not sure

also the clutch could be fubard..

the pedal should give way @ friction point.
so u press it and then at a certian point it should just fall to the floor

if it is springy or u dont feel it get loose. they the cable is either streached or the clutch is gone.

thanks for the reply...

Um it was fine a month ago when i moved it just when i got in there today it was like it....

the clutch felt no different to what it used to that i could tell.

i dunno ill have to get sum1 to look at it i guess coz i got no idea.

if its stuffed i wont bother selling it ill just let the wreckers take it..
