The clutch cable sheath is held by the right hand engine mount.  There are a couple of pictures on this thread

There's a special dohickey, which is called the "clutch cable abutment" in the parts manual, that screws onto the threaded end of the cable and holds against the clutch lever arm.  Item 7 in the parts manual diagram

Thanks for pic,  that really helps me out,  as usually nothing goes perfect,  the dookicky  thing  #7,  I have, but will have to drill out to fit the threaded part of cable,  hole a
little too small,   do not know why, maybe because my car comes from europa, imported by a couple,  and a few things are different I guess,  so now I can put the trans back in and hope this works .   Mike.

I've seen it reported previously that the "clutch cable abutment" needed to be drilled out slightly.
Presumably it's the closest size now available for replacement cables.
