    I can't really tell from you pic. The thin end slides iside the bracket on the gearbox, the fat end should be located on the end of a conduit. It shouldn't have the sharp bend in your photo.

    The steel conduit shouldn't move. If it does, that's your problem. :thumbsup:

    The bracket the holds the end of the conduit to the axle beam is original on the pic I posted. Yours has been repaired which is not unusual, but I think it may have lost an inch or so in length. The little bit extra would force the bowden tube into the correct "S" shape, smoothing out the bend (and making the clutch less sharp).

    Also, you said summat had suddenly changed? Take a look at the 2 bolts holding the upper bracket to the gearbox, if one is stripped or broken that might be your more immediate problem.

    It the clutch has got nearer the floor, the wingnut will need to be tightened.

    Maybe it's under too much stress.
