When I depress the clutch I here a clicking in the tunnel..The cable is maxed out with spacer nuts at the transmission end..What is the easiest way to do it as not to cut into the tunnel or weld..Is there a way?
Thanks,914 |

A broken clutch tube cannot be adjusted around, it needs to be repaired. This picture is the tunnel puled out of the car. It is like you are looking up from the bottom. I marked the spots where it is welded and my car was also welded at the firewall. If you look at postings you will see that the other tubes are for heater controls and Throttle. So I think when the clutch is pushed the cable makes the tube bend or flex. This makes it necessary for more nuts or washers on it as spacers. As I said my 6 was fixed with a U clamp and nuts. One by the driver’s right foot going towards the passengers side and one on the center floor wrapped over the tube as a clamp. U was going towards the ground with nuts on the threads to hold it. I guess that is a low cost temporary fix for guys back in the 80s. The repairs where removed and done right. The welding of the tube must have a screwdriver in the front of tube as a heat sink so you do not burn through the tube. Same in the back of the firewall. Just pull after the welding. I pulled the junk and I fixed it right and put a new floor section. Bob  |
