First time doing this. Putting in the pedal cluster from Bruce Stone. He does nice work!

I loosened/removed the clutch cable at the trans to give me a bit more room to work on reattaching the cables, but now the cable end at the trans is way off from going back on.

I mistakenly unscrewed the clevis from the end of the cable at the front and I think I may have threaded it back on too far on the cable. I think that's why the cable does not easily just connect back up at the trans.

Should the clevis be put back on a certain number of threads or "x" distance from the cable end? Or doesn't it matter as all cable adjustments should occur at the trans end?

Also, should clutch cable adjustments be made with the clutch pedal down against the floor or should it be in an upright position.?

Many thanks for the advice.

Adjustments are done on the threaded rod at the transmission. Pedal should be up. More importantly, be sure that the clutch and accelerator cables are not crossing over one another i.e. touching.

Sounds like you may not be taking into account the spring of the pedal. The cable won’t reach the transmission lever without a good pull. Be ready with the clevis and nut (or use a helper to pull while you thread it in).
