so, it turns out that the nut on the tranny end of the cable was stripped, since i put a new nut on it and it seems to be back where it was... i'll order a new correct nut soon...
so, with that i tried to get it out of the driveway and did... it seems that the clutch is still going to slip if i get into 3rd (i only got into second, but it was engaging really high), and engine is now running about the way it was like 2 years ago: fine, but i have to set the idle high... so, really i am back to where i was like 2 years ago... sweet...
oh, and maybe i took a bad angle on the driveway (wasn't as sharp as i have done it previously) or maybe the car has settled a bit, but i hit the jack tubes on the driveway on the way out and HARD on the way in... took a nice chunk out of the driveway and broke the jack point on the driver side...
here's the passenger side for reference...
it doesn't look any lower than it did, but who knows...
