try pulling up on the cable (remove the electrical box above the cable where it goes through the firewall to access the clutch cable) and have someone inside the car to see if this improves the operation of the clutch. I did this after putting a new cable in and found that the clutch oprated a lot smoother. I then used a plastic cable tie, attached around the post that the electrical box sits on, to hold the cable in the preferred position. The automatic adjustment is very finicky and kept slipping on my new cable so I had to resort to the cable tie. That was two months ago and the clutch is still good. Check that the new cable position allows the clutch to release or you'll burn out the thrust bearing. eithG" <noonenopsamspring.com> wrote in message news:ampiuu$sot$1nopsam9.atl.mindspring.net... > that IS the adjustment. ;-) You can try to adjust it by firmly grasping > on the cable near the firewall and tugging.
