> Shifting > Your shifter could be misaligned. I've had good luck with this method: Pull up the shift boot and loosen the bolts just enough so when you move the shifter, you see the base moving. Slap the shifter into 2nd gear, then tighten it up. Shifting should be improved, hopefully. Minor adjustment may be necessary. > Clutch > How much play is there in the pedal? I think it's supposed to be like 1/2" before you feel resistance in the pedal but check the repair manual for the exact distance. I don't understand why you are shifting from 4th to 1st gear, sounds weird... > Accelerator cable > Which end popped off? I'll assume the front and say maybe it's bent weird? It usually has an 'S' shaped end that slips through the pedal. I'm not sure what you mean by wound tight, the cable is made up of smaller wires all wound together tightly, which is normal. If it's twisted somehow, that is bad and it will break. You'll have to put in your spare accelerator cable that you always keep in the trunk, right next to your spare clutch cable, fan belt, and ignition parts, maybe kept in the bottom of your traveling toolbox with your "traveling copy" of a Type 3 repair manual? :) Bye, Everett No Type 3, but there's always that '62 Sunroof Notch I know about...
