F-22 Raptor SHO

I had the misfortune of snapping my clutch cable during this cold spell and was dreading the replacement. You see I had replaced a clutch cable on my previous SHO and knew it was a PITA to do. Well here is a very easy way to do it that should save you time if you ever are faced with such a dilema:
1: Prop your clutch up using a wrench to keep it in release mode.
2: Unhook your cable from the tranny clutch fork arm (that is unless it has snapped already)
3: Sit your self upside down in the drivers seat with your head under the dash. Disconnect the cable from the plastic adjuster on the clutch pedal.
4: Tie a long wire or strong string to the cable end under the dash.
Pull the cable out from the side under the hood along with the wire.
5: Tie wire to new cable and pull it thru the firewall from under the dash. Reinstall both ends.
If you dont use a wire to pull the cable thru the firewall, you will need to have 3 elbows on one hand to get the cable back thru. The pathway is quite tortuous.
I've done it both with and without the wire. Difference: about 45 minutes and a pulled muscle in your shoulder.
