There is a rubber "nut" on the cabin side of the firewall that holds the cable housing. This nut doesn't thread on, it snaps onto the cable housing.

You're right benedict, adjustment can also be made at the pedal. Seems overly complicated. Why would you need to make cable tension adjustments at the pedal and at the engine?

Will post pictures later.
