As title says...

DX trans...I looked all day for clutch master and slave bleeding guides and replacement guides and was reminded the trans is cable driven (which I even knew) so that ain't happenin'.

EDIT : More info:
Drove fine up until it wouldn't shift into second to round a turn. Goes into all gears fine when car is off. Will grind into reverse and I can use the clutch pressure to move the car while in reverse. But will then die when when I re-apply full pressure on clutch and come to a stop. No strange leaks...trans has 150k miles on it. Engine has only about 300 on rebuild. New throw out bearing. And clutch was stated to have 90 percent life left in it by a honda tech. (who I bought it from)


I got 5 bucks on it being a blown clutch spring.

What do you mean by 'blown clutch spring'?? What is that? Do you mean pressure plate?
If you clutch is said to have 90% left in it then I'm sure it's fine. I could be a stretched cable, missadjusted linkage (either at the pedal or at the tranny), or it may just be that you got hosed and the clutch is infact bad. I'd check your adjustments first.

looks like I lost 5 bucks.

 

was it the clutch cable?

it should have about 1/8th inch of slack. (so you can pull the adjustment screw up about 1/8in from the clutch cable bracket)

When I figure out where the clutch cable is I'll get back at you.

 

take a picture of your engine bay and we will highlight what you are looking for.

Sorry man, the picture isn't coming up.
The clutch cable is the fat black thing that runs across your motor from the firewall on the driver's side to the tranny beside your battery and radiator fan. It hooks up to a gold colored bracket which is your clutch release fork. You can adjust the clutch at that bracket.
If you're not sure of what you're doing then I would take the car to a friend who knows what to do or to a good shop. You can 'F' things up if you adjust things too tight or too loose. Well then again, I guess it can't get much worse huh?
I'll bet your cable stretched and you may just be able to adjust the extra slack out of it.
