Default Clutch Cable

Got A CRX With A Z6 Swap, Just Put A New Si Tranny In With Exedy Clutch, And I Have A DX Clutch Cable, Its Adjusted All The Way Tight And The Release Point Is Like Right Of The Floor, So Is There Any Other Clutch Cables That Are Shorter And Allow For More Adjustment

There shouldn't be any difference from the DX to the Si (cable, right?) tranny as far as your clutch cable goes.
Sounds like something isn't hooked up correctly at the tranny - bracket, cable grommets, etc.

do you have your clutch cable bracket on your motor, it makes a difference. I bought a zc swap last summer and fought my clutch cable for months before I realized the I had no brackets on this motor, the zc I got was an auto before I got it. Your cable could also be stretched if its an older cable but I dont know if there is a difference between dx and si... I would have to say no but thats just guessing.

CRX clutch cable are all the same. Also, is the Exedy clutch new? When you have a new clutch, it takes time to get use to it and the engagement point is very close to the floor.

glad to help, I got some nylon washers from ace hardware that are pretty thick and just zipped a notch in the sides of them to slip them over the cable.

works great and was like 2 bucks

Is your clutch pedal bent?
My old sedan's clutch pedal was so weakened that I could move it 3" in any direction.
