Help needed - Clutch pedal/adjustment woes

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Thanks, Patrick - I have the rubber grommet and the washer that the cable
sits in as well. It's just the tube on the pedal cluster that's busted. As I
noted, I do have a spare pedal cluster as well. Looks like that may the
problem...^(&*^(*&*

Can I get through one damn weekend without wrenching?! :)

Thanks again, Jeff
