that **** is attached to a cable wich puls a valve open or shut in the engine bay that allows coolent to flow through the heater core. You have some options:
1) make sure the lever at the back of the climat controll is hooked up wtih the cable it is hard to get to so have fun therre are screws behind the two swithces defrost and hazards also in the cilmate control to the bezel or border around the vents.
2) go to the firwall and move the lever maunaly so you arnt stuck on hot
3) buy a climate controll from me because i have three for a good price
If you just lost the **** on the end of the heater controll then just move it manually.

The **** on my climate control is quite stiff also, I'm worried eventually it will let go. I'm not sure what the normal "stiffness" is for the ****, but I know this is overly hard to move. Not something I'd dump money into to get fixed, but hopefully it'll hold up.
A new climate control unit, the whole thing, can be found for around $100 on kijiji. Try JDM places as well, there's always goodies in there.

yeah mine is really hard too. it works awesome though so no complaints. my old tegg was the same way. the **** was pretty tight, it was a little more fluid when you moved it, but still pretty tight non-the-less

You can prob get a stock climate control at junk yards for cheap or by from jdm places, but no point in fixing it. I have same prob its uber stiff but mine stays on cold unless the gf bothers me lol, plus dont drive it in winter.
