How exactly do I put the speedo cable into the transmission and make sure it's seated properly? There appears to be a side screw and some kind of grommett (gromet?) that doesn't seem to mount to anything. Possibly this slid down from above. It looks like you just push the square wire into the hole and tighten the side screw, but how do you know it's all the way in properly... and what is that gromet for?
P.S. By the way, I opened up this clutch because, after this car sat for 12 years, I started driving it and went on a couple short drives (< 100 miles total). The clutch started making a bit of noise for a couple days and then when I went out one morning, the clutch would not dissengage. The throw out bearing had some play, but still spun well and the clutch plate itself looked bad, and might have been stuck to the flywheel at some point, so I replace those, but have not replaced the pressure plate (Is this also known as the driven plate?). Now that I've re-mounted the transmission back on, and starting putting bolts back on, I'm wondering whether I should take the clutch apart again and replace the pressure plate, or finish putting the rest of the bolts back on and seeing if it's fixed. When I hooked up the cable, the clutch was properly dissengaging when someone pushed on the clutch pedal. Opinions?
