Long story but I need to eliminate solutions for readers.
74 914-6 3 liter Two track events ago clutch started acting funny and shifts were wierd so pulled off. CLashed gears ....so turned off ,put in gear and key started....after a few adjustments with what appeared t obe a stretched cable, removed and replaced clutch cable.....Could find no stretching in remove cable and was able to adjust to make it work but seemed to consume most of the adjustment to get clutch action. Chapter 2: Went home removed everything expecting bad pivot ball or clutch etc.....All ok. Chapter 3: Next track event trans issue but unrelated to clutch.....(Slider for 1st gear out of adjustment) so shop pulled all to go in and adjust. Upon reassembly and test drive wierd clutch issue resurfaced and standard assumptions disproved after everything was disassembled. Shop has ruled out pivot ball, pedal cluster etc., clutch tube.....and it is back apart without a clear culprit. Trying to help them get to root of issue in hopes someone has something to suggest. Thanks for anything that might be work investigating. Terry |

You may need to shim out the pivot ball itself, by adding a washer under it. This will change the geometry especially in cases where the flywheel has been cut down.....however don't overlook the possibility of your clutch cable tube being loose..... the broken front weld will allow it to move laterally. If it is loose at the front, later when the weld at the rear turns loose the entire tube will be pushed inward. You would need to push (or pull) it back out of the firewall and reweld it in place front and rear.
