Asked this on Vortex also,but maybe I can find some answers to this(clutch)



    andrew, there is slack in the cable where it links to the tranny. it may not seem so because the
arm lowers on its own to take the slack out. lift up on the tranny clutch arm, you will probably
notice it move 2-3 inches before becoming tough to move. The cable sleeve needs to be adjusted to
take that slack out (it unscrews on the threaded shaft).
    this all applies only if you have a manual cable. if you have a self adjust, grab the cable
(housing) and pull up (awar from tranny), then let it 'snap back' into place. it will make a zip tie
type sound as it adjusts (might take a couple of times). suddenly when you go to pull it up, it wont
move easily (slack gone). jump in the car and try it out, should be all good.
