    I figured out there's just no more adjustment to my cable and it still shifts kind of okay when I put the pedal all the way to the floor. Guess I'll wait for it to really break before I break it trying to fix it Lol

    IMHO best not wait ~ get a new cable installed ASAP

    As the cable "breaks in", that will only make it even looser as the housing compresses slightly and the cable itself stretches slightly, resulting in even less clutch disengagement.

    One thing occurs to me now: there should be a rubber bushing, about a 1/4" thick and sandwiched between washers, between the adjuster star nut and the firewall fitting where the cable passes thru. Has that bushing perhaps gone missing?
