clutch cable rubbing on trans throttle linkage
found this whilst under there this evenin:
 now I know why my throttle's been sticking since 7/14 motor reinstall and - likely - why my clutch pedal travel's been short... and also likely why clutch slips under sudden hard boost sooo... how to right this? There's zero slack in the clutch cable to hint at maneuverability, and the way the lines are purposefully laid out and twisted toward the tunnel that part seems right:  Bueller? TIA! |

Paul, the cable is supposed to be routed on the other side of the throttle bell-crank "ear" (see my glorious pics below, bisch). In order to get it there, you will probably have to disconnect the cable at the Paulmission & release bearing arm, and then rotate the cable sheath slightly on the bowden tube (the metal tube sticking out of the firewall).

OK, thanks dipshiit - that's helpful
I can get it to go to the left side of the ear, but it still seems to be riding on the throttle cam regardless maybe a slight twist of the Bowden tube as you said will provide a hair of clearance? Yours looks like it's damn close too - stupid layout |

What I found
Your clutch cable is not adjusted correctly.
The adjustment nuts on the transmission side have to make the cable slide back towards the pedals..this will cause the cable to flex upward and away from the shaft... Had the same problem... Another solution that was given to me was to get a sleeve and put on the shaft where the cable is rubbing this will keep the cable from being damaged.

forgot
Forgot the last solution..
Take the shaft and cut it off from the arm to the tranny... file it down so that you can fit a washer between the arm and the shaft that you cut off... you will have 3 pieces .... Arm shaft...washer....shaft that you cut off.... in that order. This will allow the inner shaft to turn ...The Larger washer will also act as a barrier to kept the cable on the cut shaft. I chose this solution...
