Giampiero,
How'd you get the pedals "unglued". That looks like my problem. The pedals
work together, depressing the brake semi depresses the clutch, but if I push
in both the clutch pedal & the brake pedal, after releasing the brake pedal,
the clutch stays in. I can pull it back to it's correct position with my
hand. I cleaned the whole area really well, and I got off lots and lots of
old dried grease and dirty gunk. After cleaning, the pedals seem to be a tiny
bit more independent.
On the left side of the clutch pedal, down on the "pipe" it is connected to -
the pipe is open on the far left side. I am assuming I need to pile the
grease in this opening until I can see it ooze out. Is this correct?? There
is also a small screw to the right of the brake pedal, should I take it out
and put grease in it's hole too?
Thanks,
Kat
