Hello,
I'm just about ready to go with my replacement of the old BW35 with an M41 transmission. I'm perplexed though at how the clutch cable is held in place through the firewall. The cable sheathing terminates in a threaded collar that goes through the firewall--and the cable hooks to the clutch peddle all right. But I can't turn a nut on the end of the sheathing because the cable stirrup is too big for a nut to pass. And I can't find a similar car at pick n pull to view, so I'm relying on someone out here who knows. What's the secret? Or perhaps it doesn't really need to be tightened to stay in place (which is what I'll be finding out by default!) Hope I made my question clear.
Thanks in advance of your help.
Linc
