tranny install problems??

[bkpros@shaw.ca (Big Kid)]

Yep should be ok. The control arm is too tight for you to actuate yourself
but it does need to be able to move to hook up the linkage. Just push it as
high up as you can and attach your cable, this is your clutch pedal
adjustment too.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like you've
got it.
