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!!

The front is the most common detach point. If you unbolt the shifter base from the tunnel and rotate the base 90 degrees you can see the tube and its attach point. Step on the clutch pedal to verify its condition. If it is detached you can place a U-bolt over it to secure it to the side of the tunnel if you don't have a welder. If it has detached from the center section you can see it from the top of the tunnel directly aft of the seat backs. IIRC the wire bundle needs to be shifted to one side to expose the opening. That one can be re-attached with a J shaped bolt if welding isn't an option. The rear attach point can be checked at the point it exits the tunnel. Again if welding isn't an option you can rivet a drilled out plate to the firewall after sleeving the tube so that it protrudes into the engine compartment.
