Re: Cable clutch question

Yes, there is definitely a bracket...I am sorry but I haven't looked at the
truck yet, but from what you are describing, You need to do something to
hold the end to keep it from moving and messing up your clutch travel,
etc...I will try to crawl under there tonight, if I get the chance...

: O.K. if anyone else out there has a pickup of travelall with a cable 
: operated clutch, please help!  In fact, knowing IHC, a Scout is
: probably the same, if it has a cable clutch.
: 
: I need to know if there is a metal bracket that holes the top end
: of the outer cable housing?  Something that attaches to the metal
: bracing that supports the brake/clutch pedal perhaps?  During all
: my laying out clutch linkage parts on the floor in the garage, if there
: was one, it has disappeared.  Now, the clutch still works, but the top
: of the cable moves some and results in extra free play before it
: starts to disengage the clutch.  So much so that I don't think it is
fully
: disengaging the clutch, which would explain my lack of any synchro
: for 2nd gear on the 5 speed, and I have to double clutch to get into
: 3rd without grinding.  I can't live with it the way it is.  Something
: has to change!
: 
: The confusion is that my service manual definitely shows a bracket
: in the explanation of making the adjustment, yet the parts manual
: does not show any shuck bracket. I have not been able to locate
: any other manual transmission and cable clutch IHCs in the local 
: wrecking yards.
: 
: Thanks in advance to anyone willing to go out and shine a flashlight up 
: there!
