Default Bleeding a clutch

Hey guys, my clutch pedals's spongy as a ****. I thought it was the clutch but it turns out that the clutch need to be bleed. I currently have a jdm b16a with cable trans in a eh2/eg6 hatch. Can you guys help me with a guide on how to bleed the clutch on a cable trans?

u don't bleed a cable clutch there is no cylinder being pumped with brake fluid to bleed. u have to adjust ur cable by tightening it up with the plastic nut by the clutch arm on the transmission

LOL. You bleed air from a hydraulic system. You don't have that.

Turn the big plastic nut where the cable sleeve attaches on the front of the transmission until it gets snug. Then back it off one click so there is no pressure on the diaphragm.

This is not your trans, but it does show what to look for:

I am not familure with that model, but some clutches have a cable hydralic combo. Should this be your case you would have a bleed valve at the slave. Blleding Honda clutch systems is tiedious, but pressurizing the tank REALLY helps
