Yeah, theres a slotted disc on the firewall(interior side). It might be hidden by some sound deadener..its about 3" or 4" or so in diameter. Its a pain in the ass to get off....even bigger pain to put back on. Just for the simple fact theres no room. It keeps the cable from pulling through if it breaks at the pedal.

oh i see

question does it come off the metal pipe coming through the firewall

Replied to your pm. You need to give the cable some slack, then pass the actual cable(not the sheath) through the slot. Did you undo the two small bolts(wanna say 5/16) holding the cable to the firewall(engine side)? Those need to be removed...thats part of the cable.
