Any ideas on clutch cable mod to make my clutch tighter? - Honda-Acura.net

1986 Honda Civic CRX SI (And I already replaced my clutch)
For some reason my clutch cable loses grip and makes it hard to get into gears. After I get out and make re-tighten it, it seems perfect with no grinding and cracking into Reverse. But after an hour or two it becomes lose again and then again I have to pop the hood remove the battery and pull the cable and turn the screw clockwise.

Has anyone done any mods to a clutch cable to make the clutch pedal tighter and has not popped a cable? Please let me know
