What do you mean by plugged? The cable goes from the pedal to a pulley on the side of the transmission. It goes around the pulley about 270* and then is secured through a chock by a couple of nuts that are used to adjust cable length as needed.

Something broke. You must investigate further.

If both ends of the cable are intact, and the trunion at the release arm is intact, there are not too many other things that won't require a bit of investigation.
With one person in the car working the clutch pedal, you can look under the car to see how the cable is pulling on the release lever. If the cable itself is pulling, the other problem areas can be the outer tube in the center tunnel. The attachment at the firewall can break, and the outer tube inside the tunnel can have a weld break and allow it to move. If it happened suddenly, I'd suspect the clutch trunion as the first likely culprit (especially if it is the original one). There is an aftermarket one that is made of metal that is much less likely to fail. The little knobs on the trunnions wear out and break on the original design. |

He means the little square thingy with round peices sticking out of the sides that connects the cable to the clutch release arm. Just in case the word trunion is confusing, I wouldn't know what it meant. |
