Default Did screw up on my swap? my clutch lever has no pressure

Here is the deal I've been a 5g hydro tranny guy for 3 or 4 years with many swaps. This last car was a cable. I think I screwed up some where because I was at the boneyard today screwing around with a cable tranny and I noticed the clutch lever that connects to the clutch cable had alot of pressure where mine has basically none.

Where is my mistake at?

Thanks
Nick

on the tranny where the clutch cable hooks up. The lever should have pressure, atleast I think. I do not have any pressure. Did I forget a spring or something while mating the tranny and motor?

Did you mess with the clutch assemble or throwout bearing ? Your lever has no pressure at all, not even when it reaches the top ?

is the pressure made by the level or is made by a spring on the clutch petal? I havnt hooked up my clutch cable to the lever.

have you tried adjusting the cable tighter? Turn the round plastic nut by the lever.

the lever should have some resistance cause of the throwout bearing's spring.My guess is that your bearing is bad or that your spring is bad and needs replacement.

i think the guy is saying when he hand pulled the tranny lever from a tranny that wasnt hooked up to the cable , it had some resistance. His doesnt have this resistance when he pulls his when his tranny was out.

if thats the case i would say its the spring in the bellhousing on the lever. Otherwise i still think its the cable.

The pressure if from the pressure plate, you should be able to move the lever up a little with no resistance but once you hit that certain point your not moving it up anymore.

Attach the cable, tighten the adjuster to 1/8 inch play, and go from there.
