<VV> jack stands; clutch cable

[J R Read_HML]

Put the car up one side at a time.  If you want to be cautious, only go half 
way on the first side - then all the way on the second side - then go back 
to the first side and finish up.

The cable broke up by the pedal.  Pull up the carpet on the passenger side 
and take out the short piece of metal heater ducting - about 6 to 8 sheet 
metal screws.

You will see it - the ball broke off.
