i was adjusting my cable yesterday night when this little rubber started to come apart,now its not there no more, i didnt know what the hell it was, now that the suns out, im realizing my cable is loose, i can actually wiggle it back and forth , and when i try to tighten it...just flinds back....unable to tighten...should i go get it replaced.....peddle feels loose actually, feels better then it used to....it is a stage 3 6puck F&S clutch, the peddle before was to stiff ...now that its loose it feels better im a newb to this so any advice will be greatly appreciated

 

It's there for a reason but if you're fine with it then so be it.

 

Replace it, as mentioned it's there for a reason. 94

 

It "flinds" back? Could you put that in English, please?

I'm assuming you mean the little rubber bump on top of the flat "washer" the big nut sits on. That bump is there so the nut can't turn by itself and upset the clutch free-play.

The cable is SUPPOSED to be loose. You should be easily able to pull the big nut off its seat with your hand by about 3/16". That clearance is what enables you to spin the big nut with your thumb to adjust the clutch. When you let the nut drop back down again, the bump secures the nut against unwanted rotation, which would upset your clutch-adjustment.

There is a workaround, though: Drill or poke a tiny hole in the rubber washer, just big enough for an opened paper clip to fit through. You replace the rubber bump with the paper clip. The paper clip should provide enough interference that the big nut won't turn by itself.

BTW, is that an aftermarket cable? There ought to be exposed screw-threads above and below the big nut. If it's an OE cable, it looks like you're fresh out of available adjustment.

 

what i meant. it flings back, and before that rubber just fell apart my peddle was so stiff , so i kept trying to adjust it to where i liked it, and now its just fell apart.....ok so i tested it i loosen it up all the way to where the release point was half way pressed down, then i tighten more so its not to loose its better i just have to get used to it,,,

i just dont like the fact if i wanted i could wiggle it loose causing the **** to turn back


and that picture is just some random pic to show you what im talking about
ill be taking my car to the acura dealer to replace it

 

NOW you tell us...

Sheesh.

 

sorry man, but that little rubber thing i circled was an example of what is no there....thanks for your time guys...

 

"No there" could mean totally missing, or it could mean the rubber bump is broken off. You did circle the entire rubber thing, not just the bump-area...

Would it have hurt you to post a pic of your actual situation? That rubber washer isn't the only thing in the photo, you know. The pic you posted shows the wrong cable for your car, for instance. And the actual position and actual condition of your cable could be significant.
