Yes, the little nut on the clutch push rod that goes behind the clutch fork does two things: 1) It prevents the push rod from "popping out" of the clutch fork during a fast shift; and 2) It helps when you adjust the free-play distance on your clutch fork/throw-out bearing. (Adjusting your clutch is a good second job in getting to know your Cobra). Here's a more detailed explanationon that, along with pictures, that I posted for a fellow ERA owner: Overheating?
