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!

You may have it figured out already, but did you check the cable end at the pedal connection? There is a couple of inches of threaded adjustment available at that end. In my case I once connected the cable at the end of the threads at the pedals and resulting cable length was too long to allow adjustment at the clutch arm. So it was back into the pedal connection, which I hate, to shorten the cable. I found that adjusting it to about 1/2 the threaded portion worked fine. I didn't want to fix it by adding spacers at the clutch arm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
