Default b16 into ef crx-si ---->clutch cable problem

Okay guys. I need help. Car starts, and everything else from my swap seems to be done except for this pain in the butt issue.
The tranny won't go into gear. After my Brother and I contemplating what it could be, we think that the stock clutch cable from my car won't allow for enough play for the shaft on the transmission to move down all the way.
When we take the bracket off(the one that holds the cable to the tranny), it lets the shaft go another inch or two further down, so it seems that it's not getting down far enough to go into gear. After much searching on this, there is all kinds of people saying different things. There are a couple possible conclusions I've found.... Do I need the teg cable? Is there a way to modify my situation to get mine to work? Any ideas are appreciated. However, please don't mistake what I'm saying for having trouble getting the cable into position, because I've got all that figured out. It's just not going into gear. Wheels are not spinning,etc... Thanks in advance for any help

Get a clutch cable from a 90-93 Integra; they are longer than an EF clutch cable. Your problems will be solved.
