i'm probably insecure bout this but.
if you have an aftermarket clutch, say like a stage 2 clutch......is that putting more stress on your clutch cable? am i to worry bout it breaking over time?
like i said i'm probably just overreacting or something.

I'd imagine if the pedal is harder to push then stock, then it prob. Is more strain on the cable. Not something I would lose sleep over though. They don't break very often, not that it's rare either, but I've had about 7 civics/crxs with various types of clutches and never had a problem.
You would probably break the pedal assembly before the cable lets go. However, the cable can be stretched due to the stiffer pressure plate, requiring you to adjust it more frequently.
I had a 6 puck act clutch with heavy duty pressure plate and over time my cable stretched. I end all was when the pedal assembly broke. I just welded the bracket and implemented a stock clutch. Ima use the factory psi plate with a street strip disc.

Stage 2 is already in the car actually. it feels loose for top half but once you get to the engage portion its really tight and u can hear the pedal "creaking"
and does the same when you disengage the clutch.
just worried about the clutch cable is all ^.^

acmoc, adjust cable at the trans clutch arm. You'll notice where the cable meets the bracket, there's a round piece that can be turned on the cable. Shoot for having about an 1/8" of play in the clutch arm. This will allow a small space between the throwout bearing and contact surface of the pressure plate. You need that bit of space so that your throwout bearing isn't constantly engaged, which will lead to it having a shorter life span. This also allows the pressure plate to engage with all the clamping force it was designed to have.
