Well.... it's almost a Viva in an absurd kind of way. A Chevrolet Aveo, which in some parts of the world is sold as a Chevrolet Viva.... I ask here because I know there's a lot of us who are old school and this is such a basic car, apart from FWD, it isn't technically that much different.
I had a new clutch put in. The pedal now is so light it is almost like it's not connected to anything. Like our Vivas, it is a cabled clutch and it's a 1.2 engine. The biting point is really high and the clutch is almost on or off. It's my daughter's car and she finds it hard to drive - as do I. My wife has the same car, so it's easy to compare - and there isn't any comparison!
I've tried to adjust it but if I slacken it off to lower the biting point, it just makes the cable loose and then you can't engage gears easily. Tighten it and it slips. In fact, if you rest your foot against the pedal and are in a low gear, it will slip.
It's actually no different to how it was before i had the clutch changed other than it is mega light to push down.
The other stupid thing that happened was the garage "eased up the gear selector" - which in reality translates as: put it in gear and the gear lever moves around so much, you think it's in neutral. Not happy. Paid £400 for actually making my car worse.
Anyone got any thoughts?
I'm thinking the pressure plate is naff (or possibly even the old one)
Ta!
