M38a1/ M170 engine stay cable

Post by bl5211a »

Hello - What is the proper procedure for adjusting the engine stay cable. This is the cable that attaches to the flywheel / bell housing and the transmission/ transfer case x-member.

1/2" up & down movement, so it should be snug but not over-tight.
