Re: Self djusting clutch cable

[drew <drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca>]

This sling device you describe is what you use to compress the cable into
its storage position.  If you look at the cable's self adjusting mechanism
(it's at the end of the cable housing closest to the transmission, and has
a rubber bellows on it), you'll see two little "tabs" or "nibs" sticking
out on eiether side of the housing.  The circles in the end of the "sling"
snap over top of these tabs to keep the cable compressed.  Simply slide
the sling down the cable to the top of the self-adjuster housing and
compress the housing's bellows.  When the self-adjuster spring is fully
compressed, you will be able to engage the ends of the strap on the little
tabs.  

Hope this helps,
