Hey Guys,
I'm curious if my clutch cable is out of threads at the tranny end. I've drawn what can best be described as the best pen-paper drawing ever. This illustrious illustration illustrates the indignant state of my clutch linkage exactly. The arm that goes to the clutch is all the way against the back of the cable. If I move the arm closer to the end of the threads, what does that do? (to the right in the picture) If I move the arm closer to the back of the car, what does that do? (to the left in the picture) I'd like your guys input because the haynes manual kinda glosses over this part. If I'm out of threads, does that mean I'll be replacing the clutch soon? Thanks guys!

The clutch disengages pretty much on the floor. The firewall is solid and is not rusted at all. The clutch works fine now, but if the pedal is not ALL THE WAY to the floor, it doesnt disengage. I test this by putting it in 3rd with the clutch pushed in all the way, to stop the gears spinning, then I'll try to put it in reverse and the gears grind, even though i didnt let the clutch out. I put a new rennline pedal board in and the clutch stop is all the way at the top of the adjustment and is not interfering in the clutch travel. This is an ounce of prevention kind of question basically.
