I have a corsa b 1.0 gls and a corsa b 1.4 sport.

I have had the 1.0 for 4 years now and the clutch has always been stiff. Since i got the 1.4 sport i have got used to a much softer clutch and now everytime i go back to the 1.0 i hate the hard clutch... HOW can i adjust it so its softer like the 1.4?

Help is appreciated

it might be down to different makes in clutch, siezed cable, stiff pedal ect, get some wd40 on the cable and all the parts that operate the clutch, failing that the clutch could be on it last legs

You cant 'adjust' a clutch.. As Torsa says either the fingers are made of a more tensile materials on the 1.0 clutch or the cable is shot..

Yeah the operation side of the clutch is not adjustable but the positon of the bite is, which will have nothing to do with this, so dont be mixed up with adjusting thinking its gona make it easier as all your doin is moving the bite on the pedal to your comfort!

take the cable of it and spray inside the cable, plus spray the clutch pedal it self where it pivots, also spray the clutch arm that pivots in the gearboxe
