Hi

Just bought a 88 CRX on the weekend.

The person i bought it off somehow snapped the nut that adjusts the clutch cable. I had a spare one sitting around from a CRX that i had a year ago so i installed it.

Now the problem im having is, when i push in the clutch pedal the clutch release arm stays all the way in. It's almost as if the arm doesn't retract, just stays in when i push the pedal..

So now i can't drive the car because the clutch is constantly on untill i manually (with my hands) return the clutch release arm to where its supposed to be..

I know its not the clutch cable because i made sure that theres play in it and i know it wasn't holding the release arm in because the clutch pedal is very loose..

I think the clutch may need replacing or it's been fitted wrong. But not too sure though..

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

 

going through the same thing on my 92 integra. ive come to the conclusion that there is a broken spring that returns the release bearing arm thing inside the trans . in other words u gotta pull the tranny off .

 

I had the same on my 91 hatch. One of the ears on the bearing broke so the it was binding up when releasing the clutch
