Is this a clutch cable problem or something else ??
I was exiting off the hiway when i noticed there was hardly any travel in the clutch pedal , then 
i couldn't swich gears or anything .
I pulled over and checked the clutch cable and noticed it was really loose and it had no tension !! So i tighened the plastic nut on the cable on the plastic threads about an inch and a half before there was tension on the cable again , then it was shifting with no problem again but the pedal was releasing at the top !!
Is this a cable problem or something else ?? Just wanted to know before i replaced the cable !!
And the clutch DOESNT SLIP !! so i dont think its the clutch !!
setup is : B18B motor with a b16 tranny and type R clutch and PP with a 12 lb GSR lightened flywheel in a 90 teg RS !!

did it change again after that?
if it keeps changing - something needs to be replaced...
check it out.

you should be able to just put it where you like it. Set it a forget it. if something happens after that then you have other problems. probley cable is bad.
