So are you saying that the clutch pedal has full travel, but at the clutch fork you have no travel.
Sounds strange as its all mechanical and straight forward, push the pedal down and it pulls the cable in.
Have you tried it without the cable attached to the clutch fork and seeing if yoiu get full travel then.

Check fro broken welds on the clutch tube at the rear allowing the bowden tube to flex the tube forward. Look under the back seat at the clutch tube
where it attaches to the pan on the left under the shifter coupling inspection cover while you get someone to depress the clutch. If the welds are
broken you'll see the tube move.

OK thanks Paul, then check for a broken weld where the cable tube attaches to the chassis, easier to see and fix

Was the clutch pedal lever loose that bolts to the clutch pedal cross shaft?
