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!!

It's possible someone repaired it before and at the back of the car where it goes through the firewall, maybe there's a piece of slag from welding. My picture above shows a drill bit put in the front of that tube so it wouldn't make slag. Don't know how you fix it for sure but if it was mine, I'd figure out how where it was knocking. Probably cut the cable and run it back out the other way and clear the jam up point. Measure it with a wire from the back.
