Clutch Cable in 91 CRX with B18B
I'm having some issues with a clutch cable not fitting right. I posted before about this and got conflicting sides like most posts do. Anyway, I just dropped a 96 B18B1 with 92 YS1 tranny into a 91 CRX DX. It was an auto so I bought a CRX SI clutch cable. A few people said to use the stock cable and I don't see how this thing will fit right. The other people said it wouldn't work and I should get a 90-93 Integra cable.
The CRX Si cable will obviously mount inside the firewall to the pedal board. Under the hood where the bottom part of the cable mounts to the push arm on the tranny it will go in. But the threaded part is way too short to reach up to the bracket where you mount it to adjust the tightness.
Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about and how to solve the problem? Do I really need a 90-93 Integra cable? Many people say they use the stock one on a B series swap but in my case I can't see it happening unless something is really wrong.

Do not buy a new cable. Here is what you do. Pull the cable off of the tranny. look at the top of the adjustment nut (plastic) grab it and pull it down. ( it will come off easily) Next you need to cut back the rubber coating, use an exacto or box cutter. Then you will expose the steel wrap around the cable. you need to remove about an inch of this steel cover. This is a huge bitch, it took me a few hours of swearing and bitching to get it off.
a hacksaw and tin snips helped a ton. Then you can use vice grips to help it along. this allows you to have factory adjustment. Just buying a new cable even if it is from a teg will not work.
Hope this helps out.
Some one around here has a pic of this on there website. It helped a ton.
