Clutch Cable Wisdom Requested, What should the feel feel like? Options

[ctc911ctc]

Hi,

I have the silver bullet ('74 2.0 - garaged since '84, just purchased and refreshed - lots of welding) running and I do not like the clutch feel.

In my past 914s, the clutch feel was a lot of pressure for the first 1/2 of the pedal travel and then the pressure nearly went away once the pedal traveled close to the floor.

This cars clutch is stiff all the way down to the floor, I believe that the top inch or two is just spring tension. I went under the car to tighten the cable and found myself wondering what the forum might say.

Questions:

1. Is there a correct feel, or should all be different?
2. Though the cable looks very good (not frayed, etc) how much can they stretch? Do they stretch?
3. Any other advice on this would be helpful.

Long on knowledge - Short on experience,
