Hey Guys,

I'm curious if my clutch cable is out of threads at the tranny end. I've drawn what can best be described as the best pen-paper drawing ever. This illustrious illustration illustrates the indignant state of my clutch linkage exactly. The arm that goes to the clutch is all the way against the back of the cable.

If I move the arm closer to the end of the threads, what does that do? (to the right in the picture)

If I move the arm closer to the back of the car, what does that do? (to the left in the picture)

I'd like your guys input because the haynes manual kinda glosses over this part.

If I'm out of threads, does that mean I'll be replacing the clutch soon?

Thanks guys!
