Can you give us a picture of the clip?  If it's the end of the cable that snaps onto the transmission lever, I think it's cast onto the cable.  They usually have a small circlip inside that holds it onto the ball stud.  I had a 4-speed with the same problem and it had to be rigged with a zip tie to keep it on the ball stud.

Rodney sells the one for a 4-speed, and recommends using a zip tie to secure.

I think the TH125 cable is built in.

You can pull the connector off, insert a jumper wire into it and ground it.  The fan should come on.  If it doesn't, the problem is in the circuit.  If it does, replace the fan switch.  I suggest that you purchase Rodney Dickman's 225 ON, 210 OFF fan switch to reduce the probability of overheating.  The switch kicks the fan on before it begins to overheat.  If you run a 195 thermostat, the engine will operate in it's correct temperature range.  That switch resolved the overheating problems in both my cars.

Isn't easier to let it idle, and watch the temp gauge and see if it comes on at 250????

When everything works correctly--if the system will get that warm.  Some Fieros almost never get that warm.  If the fan does not come on, you won't know why.  Also, the temp gauge may not be accurate.  Fierofool's method eliminates those variables, and is therefore a good test.

The stock fan switch kicks on at 235.  I've used your method to see if my gauge was accurate.
