First, unhook the battery, block the wheels and jack up the left side of the car. Crawl under and look straight up from the axle; you will find the clutch lever on the side of the transmission. Unhook it. Then open the engine compartment and unhook the accelerator cable from the carb.
Go into the driver's footwell and flip the gas pedal forward. You will see two bolts holding the pedal cluster on. Remove them, and work the cluster out of the hole it's in.
If the clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor when you step on it, three things could have happened - well, four if you count the transmission breaking but that's the least likely to happen.
First, the hook on the end of the clutch pedal could break. If that's what happened, it's held on with a little bolt on the side. Remove the bolt, slip out the old hook. Grease the shaft of the new one, stick it where the old one was and put the bolt back in.
Second, the clutch pedal end of the cable could have broken and third, the transmission end could have broken. In either case, stick your finger into the hole the clutch cable is sticking out of and find the clutch cable tube. When you do, pull the old cable completely out. Grease the new one and work it into the clutch cable tube. When it's almost all the way in, put it on the hook and put the pedals back in place.
Crawl under the car. Put the end of the cable through the clutch arm on the transmission, then screw on one of the two nuts - the other is a jam nut. Get someone to push the clutch pedal down 1/2" with their hand, and run the nut all the way up to the clutch arm, then put on the jam nut. Set the car on the ground, hook up the accelerator cable and reconnect the battery.

How do you fix my speedo in my Vw beetle 1968?
Fixing it depends on what the speedometer is doing. Chances are its making a funny noise and the needle is bouncing around. This would be due to a damaged or unlubricated speedometer cable. It is a cable that spins around in a plastic sheath connected to the back or your speedometer and to your transmission. Often times removing it and filling it with graphite powder will solve the problem. If its severely damaged you can replace it with a new one. If the cable isn't the problem you may have to replace the speedometer itself.
