Clutch Adjustment Can't Post

Hi guys, It's me again. The boyfriend just bought a 1992 Geo Tracker last night and on the way home the clutch stopped working, pushed in the peddle and it was gone. Does anybody know how to adjust the clutch or replace the cable?

By this do you mean pushing the clutch doesn't release it? Is this cable or hydraulic linkage? If hydraulic check for leaks,

Sorry about that. Yes, the clutch won't release and it's a cable clutch.

Ok: You'll have to look to see if the cable just up and broke or let go at clutch pedal or at the clutch end where it's mounted......Look for it's action under the hood while a helper pushes the pedal,

Cables not broke right off but there is a split in the casing and the cable comes out the split abd buckles on itself. The Boyfriend put a piece of copper pipe that he split the side of and put 4 hose clamps on it so we can move it around the yard and in/out of the garage. Looks like a new one will be added to the purchase list. We are now up to the elbows into body work/ welding. lol Got to love older/cheap vehicles.
