Clutch action and tunnel repair...., Hoping I can fix my clutch pedal issue...who has done the tunnel repair?? Options

[second wind]

Hello out there....my clutch pedal action changed drastically recently and the usual is an old clutch cable giving out...well so far that is not the case and I even have removed my clutch pedal cluster thinking it was shot but now that it is out I compared it to my brand new pedal cluster on the shelf and they are identical in spring tension and other aspects...so basically my current pedal cluster is as good as new....so what to do next? I have heard of a problem with the braised in tubes in the tunnel for clutch/throttle cables that give out....can anyone please comment on this issue and how to fix? I am somewhat anxious about this repair and don't really know why....please someone tell what they know about this issue....thank you very much!!

First look at the rear firewall to see if the end of the tube is solid there.

If so, then the other area is within the tunnel itself. Here are a few pictures I collected of the inside tunnel:



Here is a what it is supposed to be. This view is looking toward the back of the car.




Here you can see how the tube has detached from the driver side of the center tunnel.




Another shot of the tube being attached to the wall. Now looking towards the front, the tunnel having been cut at ~shifter level.




Here this one seems to have been repaired with an extra clamp too.




I had to repair mine but unfortunately I don't have pictures of it. What I did was to drill a couple of holes in the side tunnel where the u clamp is touching and I plug welded it. I was able to push back the tube in place via the shifter opening. Not sure this description is clear... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
