The clutch cable is connected at the far right end of the pedal cluster, behind the sheet metal that is visible in your photos.

Take a look at these tutorials, I think the descriptions and the photos will help.

Hi...it really looks like the cross-shaft pin is cut position on the cross-shaft level is right when you look at the cable and clevis but the pedal is on the floor.
When you move the pedal is the other end moving??
Iceman the thing is the position of the omega spring on his picture is not normal have a look here

when I move the pedal up and down the end of the cable moves next to the accelerator yes but nothing moving near the transmission. The cable seems to bow inside the tunnel where the cable is located.

Cover under the back seat carpet on the tunnel to gain access to the shift cable.

Hi Ivan and Bushrat.
Do you mean to lubricate the front of the cable nearest accelerator cable?
I have the access panel removed behind the rear seat but not a whole lot can be done. I can feel the cable is all and see shift linkage? The instructions from pelican don't tell me a whole lot. Should I disconnect the front of the cable and see if I can pull it out?

To replace the clutch cable there is no need to remove the cover behind the seats.
I am talking about lubricating these places...once you replace the clutch cable

You could disconnect the cable from the omega spring and try to pull the core out. Will give you a definite answer as to weather the cable is broken or not.

Hi I am in south France..there is some tutorial in pelican side...basically remove the little finger cir-slip remove the finger.Remove the arm (it might be hard) looks very dry.disconnect the clutch cable from the arm .
On the front remove the clevis pin ..pull the end of the clutch cable towards you and put a screwdriver inside the clevis so you can loose the 10mm wrench nut.
Remove the clevis.
Then go back and pull the cable out. Repeat the same with installing the cable

Hi everyone. I got the front clip removed and I try to pull the cable forward but it wan't budge. I was thinking it would pull forward if it were broke, snapped but now I am not so certain. Any other ideas.

This.
You just crAwl under and pull the cable back. If it's snapped it will come right back with ease and unhook from the helper arm.
You can't see the clutch clevis pin in your pics. I'd just have a look underneath for now
