Clutch cable adjustment

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

You need to hold the cable sheath from rotating and screw the threaded metal part with the plastic
cup on the end in or out.

> OK, so I was twisting the right way... I need to tighten it waaay more.  But now when I twist the
cable sheath to tighten it, the cable sheath just kinda binds up top (i.e. it's not twisting where
it meets the firewall) and untwists itself when I try to tighten the locknut.  Any tips for getting
the ENTIRE cable sheath to spin?  I'm sure someone's run across the same issue.

the large cable base and the ear or flange that the cable goes through. The gap should be 12mm, I
have found that a 1/2 head bolt is perfect tool to measure with.
