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!

Well guys, an update to what looks to be the beginning of a saga....
It turns out my wedge is metal, and the cable already has 2 washers as spacers in front of the wedge. I got the front cover plate up and am in the process of replacing my pedal cluster. turns out it looks like i've got a good inch of threads to play with at the clevis...i drew a picture to make sure that's what it means. Does it look like i've got some wiggle room now? Attached thumbnail(s) |
