This is an excellent tip; one that is similar but simpler than what's outlined in augidog's above-posted link... with one exception... I went and purchased another cable (since I had cut my original clutch cable too short) and that new cable was a slightly larger diameter...mickey
My clutch arm is slotted. I just push the arm in, slip the cable off, and move the retaining collar about how much I think it needs to go and tighten. Then I push the lever back in and reslot the cable. Rinse and repeat.
...however, although I drilled the inside edge of the clutch arm slot so that the newer, slightly larger (and smoother!) cable would pass through, I suppose I could go back an attempt to make the entire slot larger...
I have in my tool collection a nifty device called a "third hand" which allowed me to nail the adjustment on the first try (on the second cable, lol).
