thing all apart and see nothing wrong.. see post yesterday for more inof. pls need a pic . also stuck on what holds cable onto the trans. a clip???

The clutch cable sheath is held by the right hand engine mount. There are a couple of pictures on this thread

There's a special dohickey, which is called the "clutch cable abutment" in the parts manual, that screws onto the threaded end of the cable and holds against the clutch lever arm. Item 7 in the parts manual diagram

Thanks for pic, that really helps me out, as usually nothing goes perfect, the dookicky thing #7, I have, but will have to drill out to fit the threaded part of cable, hole a
little too small, do not know why, maybe because my car comes from europa, imported by a couple, and a few things are different I guess, so now I can put the trans back in and hope this works . Mike.

#7 is quite the dainty little piece.....

I've seen it reported previously that the "clutch cable abutment" needed to be drilled out slightly.
Presumably it's the closest size now available for replacement cables.
