    If it has a cable clutch then it could be the cable is frayed or incorrectly routed. There isn't something fouling the actuating leaver on the gearbox, is there?

    I found this on the web:

    Seat out "tick"

    unhook cable

    Shaft out

    drop pedal

    fit new quadrant

    shaft in

    fit cable

    Pump pedal till adjusted

    But if you have a pre 95 model then you can mod it.

    Yea the quadrants are cheap as chips to buy but a total sod to replace. Most people say to allow best part of a day to change it.
