it seems that the i guess Bowden came out of that hole and apperently has done it many times before so that the cable it self had sawed thru the Boss , yesterday i was going kinda fast over our crappy roads 99% potholes and my clutch pedal had went almost to the floor , my clutch still worked but my car grinded when trying to put it in any gear , i looked under the car to see that the Bowden was in front of the boss and the cable has cut thru the boss it was hell to get the cable back thru , im just worried about it happening again and me looseing my pedal and grinding gears > I don't know why this would happen.
