Video added: Clutch cable figured out...new problem, Clutch "lever" is "floppy" Options

Okay....I see why the seller sold the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I've got the clutch cable figured out but when I went to attach the cable to the clutch lever at the transmission the lever arm just flops around. There is no tension on it to release the clutch disc. I assume this means I'll be pulling the engine or transmission?

If you can pull your clutch lever back more than an inch when not hooked up. You need a washer behind the ball pivot as Mike said. Just be careful how big a washer you use. A thin washer makes a pretty big difference. So put one on & test the arm to see the difference it makes. You do want some movement of the clutch fork before it engages the clutch. If not your clutch may stay engaged all the time. When you release your clutch it should disengage completely.

Once you have your clutch fork where it should be. Hook up your clutch cable. It's not uncommon to need a spacer as the cables tend to run long more than short. If you have to tighten your nut alot. Put a spacer between the nut & the little insert.

Oh & pulling your tranny with the motor in the car is easy. It helps to loosen your motor a bit. Your motor need to pitch down just a bit. You also need to support the back of the motor when the tranny is off.
