What kind of nut does a clutch cable have?
Some clutch cables have a double (locking) nut on the end, and others have a wingnut. Either works well. The wing nut style has indents on the front side (front of car) to hold against the clutch arm – so you may have to work at turning it until it clicks into the next indent. You may have to grab the cable to stop it turning as you turn the nut.
