I have a b16 y1 in my crx, and the clutch has been acting up. I tried to adjust it and noticed the bracket that hold the cable where the adjuster has a crack and is bending.

As this is a trans from the JDM sir am I going to have a hard time finding a new one, or is there a US equivalent. All the online honda part dealers can't order jdm parts.

Any thought, would rather not want the hassle of welding it.

Since US crx SI and others are cable trans, wouldn't you think the bracket is the same?

 

maybe find one from a integra ls cable tranny and see if they match up

90-91 teg is usually the way to go, but ive never replaced that bracket your speaking of before, so i cant say for sure.

Whats so difficult about welding it? If you were close I would do it for you.

I bet it would be cheaper and faster to just take it to get welded


EDIT: is it the clutch release arm or the bracket with the adjuster nut.
cause I would just replace it if it was the release arm.

It was the bracket with the plastic adjuster nut. I removed it last night and zapped it with a welder. It was cracked almost all the way, much longer and it would've snapped off.

When I welded it I added metal at the corners so it wouldn't flex. Glad I did this makes all the difference in clutch feel. I'm half tempted to make a bracket out of thicker gauge metal so its even more firm. Now the car feels like it has a real clutch (as it does - exedy stage 1)

BTW my bracket was a DIY the previous owner adapted from some other car, (probably from the HF trans removed). The back edge was ground down to fit in. I'll pick up a ls bracket next time I am at the bone yard.

I would recommend to all getting somebody to press the clutch in and watch the bracket movement, especially if you have a beefy clutch. I see this bracket as a weak area which should be addressed before you kill your synchros and beat up your trans otherwise.
