RHD Cayman: I can actually feel the clutch cables
Especially on a slope, when I acutate the clutch I can actually feel the clutch cable underneath my feet.

Is this normal? Feels like the cables are going to rip themselves outta the floor.

Very strange considering we dont have cable-actuated clutches, it is hydraulic.

The hydraulics gotta move something at the flywheel right? And the flywheel is behind the driver, right?

There has to be some mechanical linkage from the front of the car to the flywheel, if I'm not wrong.

Am I alone in feeling the cable move?

Clutch pedal pushes the clutch master cylinder which through hydraulics, pushes the clutch slave cylinder. No cables.

I suppose if the hydraulic line was loose you might feel it move. But I thought (but not sure) the line was on the left side of the car or perhaps in the center.

How is the Cayman clutch linkage structure like?
Could anybody point me to a technical document which shows how the clutch pedal is linked to the clutch itself?

I'm actually feeling the cables move under my feet, on a RHD cayman, just wanna understand what's happening.

The clutch mechanism is all hydraulic - the fluid is shared with your brakes, so there's no cables going to the clutch - the shifting mechanism used cables.

OK then I must be feeling the hydraulic piping move about under my feet. Explains it why my brakes also influence the moving about. Is there just a thin layer of steel plate between our feet and the hydraulic piping?

There are no clutch cables, you must be feeling something else.

I don't know what you're feeling, but the floor is pretty thick, and the carpeting and padding are on top of that... I really doubt you're feeling the hydraulic lines moving around...

I have merged these two threads by the OP - they essentially the same discussion.

Have you had your feet checked out? Maybe you have Restless Leg Syndrome and it's not the car, it's your feet.
