B SERIES Cable transmission : clutch arm stiff
I have a 92 civic hatch / GSR Swap with a cable trans. Why??? Cause resources were tight. I used the innovative mounts hydro to cable conversion mount they sell... And after I installed the motor and trans and had it running after the swap.. I bounced that the clutch arm on the trans was stuck and really hard. So I pulled out the trans and replaced the throw out bearing and spring which I found out were broken. I put it back in and it was good ... Now I didn't touch the car for a week go back and when I pull on the clutch arm again it was STIFFF AND WAS STUCK . I could put the car into gear when it was off though . Any suggestions????

Start off by clarifying what you mean - put more effort into the English language, and we can put more effort into helping you. Then make sure you have the adapter installed correctly. Show us pictures of it installed.

Your slave cylinder...isn't bolted to anything? I also don't see where you drilled a hole in the arm, like the instructions tell you to. In short, it looks like you installed it wrong, which is leading to your problems. That being said, though, it seems like a LOT of people have problems with hydro/cable conversion setups, regardless of the source. You really should sell your transmission and buy the correct one.
Thank you for purchasing the Innovative Mounts Hydraulic to Cable Conversion Kit. Please Read the following instructions for proper installation:
1. For the installation of the slave cylinder relocating bracket and full installation of the slave cylinder, it is recommended that it be done before the transmission is installed into your vehicle, reason being that it may be difficult to properly drill into the cable transmission clutch lever.
2. To install the relocating bracket you will first need to remove the two 8mm bolts on the transmission located directly below the clutch lever using a 12mm wrench or socket, when installing the bracket it should be positioned so that the three holes that are inline with each other are up. This will align the slave cylinder at the proper angle.
3. On the slave cylinder you will need to remove the rubber boot to swap out the factory pin with the supplied ball joint and pin.
4. Next you will need to drill a 5/16 hole through the external clutch lever located on the cable transmission.
5. The position to drill the 5/16 hole is 2.500” from the center of the shaft that is welded to the lever (this shaft is the part that goes into the transmission).
6. Once all of the above has been completed you can now mount the slave cylinder using the factory bolts that where originally used to mount the slave cylinder to the original transmission, if you do not have these bolts they are M8x1.25_25mm long.
7. Supplied with this kit is a 5/16 bolt with lock nut, this will be used to go through the hole that was drilled earlier, locating the ball joint into position.
8. Now that you have completed the installation you may need to bleed the clutch line, if so this should be done from where the line connects to the slave cylinder and not from the bleeder valve.

I would strongly suggest you find a junk hydro B-series trans to cannibalize the case from, swap your guts into and forget all about the hydro to cable conversion mess.

Re: B SERIES Cable transmission : clutch arm stiff
That's right. I could have sworn I read '92 cable transmission (which is a YS1, all '92 - '93 B-series cable trannys are) not '92 Civic. Hopefully for the OP is is because those hydro to cable conversion kits never seem to work right.
