New clutch and engine installed in a 1983 VW quantum turbo diesel 2 weeks ago. Driving it yesterday the clutch pedal went straight to the floor and I couldn't shift out of gear. The mechanic basically said to put a small vise grip on the cable? I have no idea where that cable even is. He said the c-clip failed? How do I temporarily fix this and how/where is this C clip?
That cable fited one side to cluch pedel and ather side fited gear box side where palte which is relecing clutch bearing. dont forget to adjust.
was that english?

The C-clip was an easy fix once I found it. the clip goes on the top side of a washer connected to the guide for the cable on the engine compartment side. In this case the cable was blue, and the part that left me stranded cost .17 cents to replace! in the future a small vise grips on the cable could "fixya" in a jamb and get you by until the part could be replaced.
Thanks for the info.
