Pedal cluster

Post by Lieb »

Hi guys
I had to repace a broken cluch cable on my Beetle. Everything went well,although it took some time to hook it up I was very careful when I put everything back but now the brake and cluch pedals can move about 25mm from side to side.What did I do wrong.

I put the c-clip that holds the accelerator shaft in place back and the one holding the shaft going to the brake mastercylinder are there others?

There should also be a large Dia. return spring on the assembly which is a bitch to secure and load when refitting the assembly, is that there?
