The end of the wire that goes over the bracket on your clutch peddle inside the tunnel. It is a "C" type opening and without any tension on the cable the end of the wire will fall off. Being a one person operation I have found that you can drill a small hole into the top and bottom of the "C" and put a piece of safety wire into both holes and twisting it make a "O" which will not allow the wire to slip off.
