Glad to hear you were able to fix it! I just did this last night and was wondering what was going on with yours.

Sweet deal!!!! Doing it yourself is the best, even when there are problems. Next time will be a piece of cake. Right?

I never had the transmission cover off were the clutch cable clips on. It's not real clear in my service manual but it appears to just snap into the hook. Is it even possible for the ***** to drop out when you put the new cable on? Do the ape's fill much different in turns at normal highway speeds? Glad you go it fixed. My son had the same problem with his. It's not really clear when the slack is out the first time. It's best to error your way since the other way will smoke the clutch.
