This cable essentially translates the movement of your clutch pedal into action at the clutch itself. It's a flexible steel cable, usually housed inside a protective outer sleeve. It pulls on the release fork when you press the pedal, and releases it when you let up. Some setups use it for the throttle too, but we’re talking about a clutch cable here. Think of it as the link between your foot and actually disengaging the engine from the wheels. When you push the clutch pedal, this cable gets pulled, which moves a lever that separates the engine’s power from the transmission. It allows you to shift gears smoothly. It's part of the whole drivetrain system, so it's pretty key. Well, if this cable fails, you won’t be able to disengage the clutch. That means no shifting gears, and that means you won't be able to drive. You’ll notice if it starts to fray or stretch because the clutch pedal might feel spongy, or it may become very hard to push. A stretched cable can also make it hard to get into gear properly. It acts like a shield protecting the inner cable from dirt and grime, but eventually these cables wear out. You can find replacements pretty easily; Fixparts Online has a good selection. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and it’s a lot better to address it before you're completely stranded.
