My clutch needs some attention, so under the car I roll, and I see a cable I don't recognize being used to seeing a hollow screw jacket with lock nut running through an adjusting nut, all of which adjusts straightforward after a good spray of P-Blaster.

Mine has no screw but rather a spiraled jacket running through a plastic grommet and then through a plastic nut!? Which is supposedly to turn and adjust the cable length. Question: so, I'm supposed to turn the plastic nut and draw the spiraled cable jacket through the the nut? Thus lengthing my cable, giving me the required 1-3 mm of play? The nut doesn't turn. Before I put a vise grip on it and wreck it, is there some trick I should perform before proceeding?

Should I just cut it, pull it out, order a new slick looking all metal cable from IPD, and fix it properly? Or are all 200 cables like this one?

Sorry to post so many questions, but I'm really getting into this sedan, seems like every week its something new. I did move the PS out 11/16 of inch and deleted the AC last week. Very cool. Thanx in advace if anyone knows what I'm writing about.
