i'm swapping a b18a1 into my 88 crx hf, can i use the crx clutch cable or do i need one from a da? thanx bob

you're supposed to use the stock crx cable. so no you don't need to get one from a da

i have tried and tried and it just will not fit, it's not long enough between the top bracket and the shift fork, any ideas?

adjust the cable all the way out..put the cable on the bottom of the fork..now pull up and put the tightener onto the bracket..make sure you adjust the cable all the way out before doing so..

i have and i push on the pedal and it won't move cause the fork is all the way up, it's like i'm going to break the cable.

is the bracket upside down????
can you get pix?

Here is the pictures. Any ideas?

 

[INJEN78]

the bracket looks bent back and up...
but if not..try unbolting the bracket.putting the lower piece on then rebolt it up..
you cant pull the clutch arm up anymore?

i'm not sure if the bracket is bent at all... but the clutch arm should definitely move up enough to allow you to slide the cable in.

I'd bet money that the little holder fell out of the firewall. Put it back in, lock it into place, and everything should fit just fine.

 

[INJEN78]

totally forgot about that^ good idea..
and yes the arm should def. move up..like posted above

i have tryed that and still it's really tight and it won't let it release down, and everything at fire wall and pedal are good.

then its gotta be the bracket..

 

[kricket3000]

were does the cable hook to the shift fork on top of the bell looking thing, on it or below it? it's like the cable is not long enough. the bracket is the same one that came out the DA

 

[INJEN78]

the bell looking thing goes up under the fork part

well reseaching some people said they used one from a DA???? i don't know what else to try, does any one have a pic of it installed?

 

[INJEN78]

i used the cable from my 91 hatch when i did my ls...i also used the cable from my 91 crx when i did the ls in that..ill try to get pix from my boy who has the same swap

 

[kricket3000]

cool man that would be great, also it's an 88 and a HF so everything always seems to be different for some reason?????

 

[INJEN78]

yea but the clutch cable is the same as any other model and year..i dont get what the problem is..
well i get the problem lol..i dont know why though

 

[kricket3000]
