It's just a nut on the end of the rod that has Loctite on it. There is space between it and the clutch fork. It serves two functions: 1) It ensures that the rod can not pop out of the fork on lightning fast, once in a million shifts; and 2) It lets you hold the rod in place when you rotate the fitting on the slave cylinder side of the fork to adjust the freeplay to prevent wear on your throw out bearing. You should put a nut on the end of the rod along with a little Loctite. But it should be the last thing you do after you get everything else set up nice.
