<VV> Catch in Clutch

[J R Read_HML]

Hi Bill,

I've not tried to check just yet, other things happening.  Yes - car and FC 
are different regarding clutch cable.  Everything (cablewise) is underneath 
on the FC.  Not so on the car.

In my case (FC), I'm thinking that perhaps I did not get the replacement 
cable routed 100% correct and that might be causing the problem.  OR, since 
it was a used (under 5,000 miles) cable out of a truck that was converted to 
PG.  Perhaps it had more wear than anticipated for one reason or another. 
Perhaps the adjustment at the clutch has slipped, though I'm not sure that 
could happen.

I'll let you (and VV) know once I sort it out.  But, if there are other 
things/places I should check I'm certainly open to suggestions.

Later, JR
