Default HARD clutch pedal after swap

i swapped this in the b18 into my crx a long time ago and its been running great ever since. when i first finished the swap i noticed the cluch pedal was really hard, and i snapped about 5 pins in the clutch cable. in order to get the stock clutch cable to work i had to jack up my car and then lower it onto some 2x4's so the cluch lever on the tranny would give me enough room to slide the too short stock clutch cable into the lever. has this happened to anyone else? did the 90-91 integra clutch cable fix the hard pedal? if its not this then what may be causing the problem?

Have you tried adjusting the clutch cable?

Maybe you got a race clutch in the tranny?

What clutch cable are you using?If you are using the stock crx cable that's the problem.A 90-93 LS clutch cable works perfectly.

you must cut the little rubber end on the cable down about a 1/4of a inch the it will fit just fine if any trouble email back
