Sorry, I should have given a bit more info. The clutch was replaced when I got the car (2 years ago). Didnt replace the pressure plate at that time as it was in good nick. If I remember correctly, the two cables snapped at the gearbox end (not right at the end but pretty close).

I did a complete engine rebuild in Jan this year and put in a new cable, clutch, pressure plate and reco'd gearbox. The new cable has been adjusted 2 or 3 times since and i'm starting to see the same symptoms again. Putting it in reverse doesnt crunch if I put it in 2nd gear first.

I would love to keep the cable setup but i'm tearing my hair out over this. My car is running beautifully apart from this problem (I do about 500km a week in it).

cheers
evan

p.s. I should state that i'm a mechanical newbie so dont hold back from stating the obvious!
