Assuming the cable is good and connected to both the pedal and the control lever on the trans, you will tighten the 11mm nut on the cable end until you have 3/4" pedal travel before you feel resistance.
Another way is have somebody like McMark lay under the car and adjust the cable for you until the control lever just starts to reach the point where it can move no further. Once it reaches that point, additional tightening will just stress the parts and stretch the cable. KT |

Shaggy (my boy Jim) fixed it (with your help)! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
He went and got the part and fixed it himself! I did not so much as even "look at it." Alright Jim!
