I'm putting a ZC motor and Si transmission together and we got everything bolted up out of the car. But when we went to try out the clutch lever (where you put the clutch cable) it only moves a couple inches. Is this normal? Everything went together fine, no binding etc. But the lever only moves a couple inches. Will it work like it should once its in the car with the clutch cable hooked up?

 

Yes you should be able to move it a little. When you hook up the cable just adjust it till all the slack is gone

 

maybe ur clutch cable is bad or u dont have it adjusted correctly...like maybe u have it adjusted to where the release fork is all the way up something just a couple guesses...correct me if im wrong but dont the cables get really stiff when theyre getting old??

 

Not totallyyy. They start stretching out so you have to keep tightening the cable a lot to keep the tension in which over time it'll get so stretched that there is no more adjustment left. Clutch cables for our cars are only like 40bucks at the most.

When you adjust your clutch make sure you have like .5-1in of play in the pedal.

 

look on youtube maybe there is a vid to show how to adjust it or google so u know step by step so u dont mess nothing up
