A self-adjusting cable control device for automatically compensating for wear in a control cable system. The device includes a termination member connected at one end of a control cable and a connecting member attached to an actuation member. The connecting member carries a clutch for locking with the termination member upon application of force to the actuation member. Spring means are provided to move the cable with respect to the actuation member when the clutch is disengaged from the termination member. The clutch comprises a plurality of collet members which are movable radially and longitudinally and surround the termination member. The collet members have conical surfaces at one end adapted to engage complementary conical surfaces on the connecting member and serrations which engage complementary serrations on the collet members. The control device further includes a release tube that is accessible from the exterior of the device and can be engaged and moved axially inwardly by a clip to disengage the collet members and thereby permit easy connection of the device to the cables. In addition, provision is made for a separate clip normally holding the tube in a position and operable to release the release tube and the collet members to operative position.
