The clutch went out on my car a month ago. I am going to tear it down this weekend. I am pretty sure the pressure plate failed. My question is how can I check to see if my clutch cable is stretched? The reason I ask is that for the past 5 years or so there has been about 1-1.5" of slop in the upper portion of the pedal. The pedal would never spring all the way up unless you helped it. On top of that the clutch was very stiff, especially at the end. My car has a 2.3L, are the clutch cables still available?
