73 914 w/ 74 2.0 dual weber 40's. finally sorted out the linkage problem and car starts right up , idles a little rough @ about 1000 rpms. decided to take a little spin before balancing the carbs. no such luck, clutch (which is new) won't engage in any gear, just grinds and the engines revs up to about 2000 when the clutch is dpressed, now i'm depressed. never touched the center tunnel when i switched the engine out, clutch and accellerator cables are the same. could they be croosed or tangled somewhere?

your throttle cable is wrapped around your clutch cable in the center tunnel. I have seen it a pile of times - primarily on carbed cars where you are working the throttle from the engine compartment, vs actually hitting that gas pedal. I will bet the problem is located at the front of the tunnel, close to the pedal cluster. Pull the carpet and foot board and poke around....
