(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

So I am a new 914 owner ( 1973) - car is running, but the clutch will not engage. Last owner said they thought the linkage was broken - but in looking under the car, the rod is moving just fine from shifter back to transmission.

As I am poking around today I notice this cable end out near the rear / firewall.

Is this my clutch cable? I think it is, but confused where the rest ended up.. and... where should I look/ repair for this?


THANK YOU!
