Apparently a mechanic who serviced the 914 long ago thought that a nylon-backed nut would be a sufficient means of securing the adjustment of the clutch on the threaded end of the clutch cable. Wrong.
So to fix this, I had to search all over the eastern Puget Sound to find a store that sold M7x1.00 nuts, so I could back two together on the clutch cable to keep it from falling out of adjustment. The problem is that apparently nobody carries these things and I had to go all the way down to McLendon's in Renton (woo McLendon's) to dig up a handful of exotic metric fasteners.
But now my clutch doesn't drag anymore. So that's awesome.
