CRX/B18 clutch cable question...
 

very simple: i have a 88 HF with a B18A1 and the stock clutch cable looks to be about 2inchs too ------ short!!! the legnth im talking about is between the bracket and the TO bearing arm. with the adj nut all the way out its ~2inches too short?!?!?! i have never heard from anyone that this needs to be swapped out when doing a swap so whats up??

Yup your suppose to. I don't understand why no one every talks about it. Just get a 90-93 cable and all problems solved. had the same thing when I did my first b series swap in an ef.

when I did my swap I just looked away while my friend fucked up the cable cover and made it fit.

humm, i think thats what is gonna come down too from the sound of it. a guy on honda-tech said you need to hack at it some, but i dont really understand what he is talking about. think a trip the pullapart is in order (extra cable)...

btw before i get asks i am using a ghetto hacked/modified D-series bracket, it works but is only held in by one bolt and seems to have some flex in it...

with the bracket that i had on my first tranny it was too short then when i got the other tranny and used the bracket that came with it and it works fine i think jeff has the other bracket now but im not sure how his cable fits.

umm, so SiR/USDM Civics are too short for XSi/LS setups [thats my theory]. ------ gay. i will hack up a spare Civic one later...

Re:CRX/B18 clutch cable question...
 

mine fits fine.. ???

Re:CRX/B18 clutch cable question...
 

my engine is SiR, that might be why it fits for me. he just cut at the tranny side of the rubber and it fit. my brother has an Xsi motor in his 91 hatch and I think he has the stock cable, the clutch is just a bitch
