Default Cable clutch problem....help!

Last week my rex broke it's clutch. Going to work, mash clutch and bam, clutch petal goes to floor. Cable seems OK, so, we'll pull the tranny. Thinking the bolt that holds the clutch arm to throwout bearing yoke might have broke or come loose. No such luck. Clutch and pressure plate look new. Excedy organic racing kit with less than 6K mi. The throwout bearing looks new too. Before I pulled the tranny, I checked the clutch arm where the cable attaches and it had a lot of travel before it contacted anything. What else do I need to check? Anyone else had a similar problem?
TIA

Check your clutch cable bracket and see where it is. I had to fab my D series one to fit on my B series tranny and it bent on me, clutch was hard to use.... Check that...

Damn, took me 3+ hours to get that thing out. Thought I checked the cable! Oh well, at least it's not the clutch arm inside the tranny. Thanks guys.

i know this sounds basic but make sure that when you press the clutch pedal you can see about 25 degrees or 2-3 inches of movement in the release arm. good luck

Same thing happened to me. The plastic nut on the end of the clutch cable had slipped over the plastic threads (obviously a weak link here), but I just readjusted the nut down & off I went. No problems for me since, although I do have a spare Integra cable just in case.
