have someone step on the clutch for you and see if the "folk" moves. if it does you'll know the cable is working fine.you may want to check the cable adjuster mounted on the pedal itself.a simple test to do and find out if the clutch plate is worn out. turn your vehicle on put it in gear and just let go of the clutch (with out hitting the gas)if the vehicle stays on your clutch disc is slipping and needs to be replace.if the vehicle dies obviously the clutch is ok.

How do you know what is broken on a 94 Nissan Sentra with cable clutch when the clutch won't disengage gears and there is no tension on clutch pedal and heard a loud snap before tension lost?
It sounds like it is the clutch cable. I have a 94 Nissan Sentra and the clutch cable just broke. I have replaced one on an older Nissan, but it is still difficult for me to do on the 94. It is really hard to get the broken cable out.

Does a 1992 Storm have a clutch cable or hydraulics?
I believe they are all cable but I'm not positive on that. I know the base is a cable. A way to tell is look at the enigine from the front, have a friend push the clutch in while you are looking at the top of the trans (below the area between the air box & engine) look for a cable attached to a metal arm it should move up when he pushes in the clutch, there's your cable.
How do you know when the clutch goes?
When you engage the clutch and the engine sits there spinning: it get's no traction OR when there is no pressure on the clutch pedal: pressing it changes nothing.
How do you change the clutch cable in a 1990 suzuki vitara?
go under the car with a 14mm spanner and undo the adjustment nut, also undo the nut that passes thru the clutch lever (sticks out the side of the gearbox) Slide the end of the cable out of the fork, and then remove the 14mm locking nut that holds the sheath of the cable in postition. This completes the 'clutch' size of the cable. Then using a 10mm spanner remove the 2 bolts/nuts in the engine bay where the clutch cable run into the cabin. In the drivers footwell stick your hand up and unhook the hook on the end of the cable off the top of the clutch pedal. Install is reverse of removal but requires you to tighten the clutch cable by tightening the nut on the clutch end of the cable. (you will know when you see it)

On the 03 Rio there is a cable clutch. No fluid. To adjust it, just twist the nut above the tranny where the cable hooks. Once you see it, you will know what I'm refering to.
