From my 31 pages of trans notes:
*Clutch cable The clutch cable being too loose is probably one of the most common reasons that people’s shifting sucks. If your cable is too loose then you will not be able to fully disengage the pressure plate from the clutch disk and you will keep power to the transmission. If it is really loose then reverse will grind when shifting into it from a standstill. There is no way that this should happen if the clutch is fully disengaged. To properly adjust your clutch, you need to tighten the cable until the clutch disengages at about 1/4 to 1/3 pedal travel (See figure 1 in appendix). If the clutch disengages too early then it is too tight, too late then it is too loose. Attached image(s) |

If your clutch cable seems impossible to adjust, you may be suffering from a separated clutch tube. The clutch tube runs through the center tunnel and is welded near the front of the driver’s side of the tunnel and to the firewall where the clutch cable exits. Often, one or both of the welds brake causing your tube to shift when you clutch in. This will disable your cable’s ability to pull enough on your clutch and thus will not fully disengage your clutch. Repairs for this issue take many forms and are beyond the scope of this article. Searching www.914World.com , or other forums for information and advice on how to tackle this and other 914 related problems is a good start.
