From my 31 pages of trans notes:
*Clutch cable The clutch cable being too loose is probably one of the most common reasons that people’s shifting sucks. If your cable is too loose then you will not be able to fully disengage the pressure plate from the clutch disk and you will keep power to the transmission. If it is really loose then reverse will grind when shifting into it from a standstill. There is no way that this should happen if the clutch is fully disengaged. To properly adjust your clutch, you need to tighten the cable until the clutch disengages at about 1/4 to 1/3 pedal travel (See figure 1 in appendix). If the clutch disengages too early then it is too tight, too late then it is too loose. Attached image(s) |

Just an addendum to the evil doctor's commentary:
If the clutch tube is welded back to the chassis wrong, then you can have a car that will never have a properly adjusted clutch. Also, the throwout bearing arm can hit the transmission case if the flywheel has been ground down and the ball stud not shimmed properly. |
