Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Im pretty sure my driving is fine.. I was having a hard time getting it into gear, as if the clutch wasn't fully engaging.. so i tightened the cable and whala! it was fine.. but now its been maybe a month and its back to being a forceful thing to get it into gear at times.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
My other rex is set-up for no cable. this is just the beater.
I never adjusted it so often on any other EF Ive owned, well I have only adjusted it twice since the first time after putting the motor in but thats still more than normal. Just wondering if maybe someone has some other ideas? something else not grabbing? its a new exedy stage 1 and resurfaced flywheel. oem cable from a DA.
Just want to avoid snapping the cable!
BLU- how would my driving effect the way my car goes into gear anyway? Am I missing something?

No actuator.. just good old cable trans. Its mainly getting into first from a stop thats the problem.. im just gonna try a little tighter, lets hope it doesnt snap. Im not familiar with the works of the inside of the tranny.. could it be a syncro problem internally?

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Does anyone have knowledge on map sensor compatability? My swap didn't come with one so I'm not sure what I need. Will OEM EF work on the Y8 manifold with the Z6 harness?

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I've swapped clutch cables about 4 or 5 times in the 7 years of owning my CRX. I finally tightened a worm clamp around the rubber bushing at the end of the cable. It's due for another breaking any time though. I also have always had to mess with the tension of my cables in this car. Not sure why that is. I thought it was a typical b series swap problem...

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
At least im not the only one.. Im pretty sure I have one or two older ones somewhere in my stockpile of parts. Im wondering though, do you experience the same symptoms? randomly it becomes difficult to get into gear, mostly first? I am more concerned I may have a tranny project for the winter than a cable swap!

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
well just call me an awesome friend. in order to speed up my friends build, i gave him a DA rear t bracket, intermediate shaft, axles, Hasport shift linkage, and b series mounts for $75. gave another the an si harness for $20.
have someone interested in that traction bar if you're still selling it
