I'm new to 914 and have no experience with gearboxes...
Tonight, my clutch failed.. the pedal went to the floor.
The cable is fine (new)... But turns out that the "fork" the cable is connected to in the gearbox, seems to pivot back and forth freely.

The clutch is still engaged but that fork piece doesn't appear to be attached to it.

With the basic description I have given, any ideas what it is?

Sounds like I will be doing my first gearbox removal...

Here is a link to a short vid I just took...
