i have a b16 swap in my crx, i hooked up the cable to the transmission then proceeded to shift into gear when i noticed the clutch pedal depressed to the floor and it wouldnt retrack after i released my foot. So i checked the cable then the fluid and finally discouver the clutch arm that attaches to the cable @ the transmission moves freely up and down and the same arm in my running crx doesnt. Could this be a major internal transmission problem? what should i do?

 

Dude, what fluid did you check, its a cable clutch

I'm guessin that you just put it in? Most likely you don't have the pivot bushing in its slot on the tranny side. There is always a little "play" in the trans. Adjusting (screwing the plastic nut on the tranny side) will take out all the play and it will work.

 

i hope there is a throw out bearing

 

Granted but there is more then alittle play, the arm freely moves up and down. And no i recently aquired the entire engine with tranny. Im removing the transmission for interal inspections
