91 CRX Si ITA Build

Have you adjusted the clutch cable? Where the clutch cable housing attaches to the trans, there is a threaded adjustment there to allow for clutch wear. The factory manual talks about this adjustment. If that is good, perhaps the throwout bearing is not installed correctly?

Yep, check the clutch cable adjustment first. If the arm it attaches to at the tranny has no resistance and if the pedal goes to the floor and doesn't come back up then I'd guess the spring on the throwout bearing wasn't installed correctly.

Thanks guys. I had the coupler stuff at the lever all crazy like. I refered to an old photo to see how it was...and changed it.

The adjustment nut was a few turns off. Works now.

It's all about preperation, the little details will kill you. One thing I learned is to check the installation of each part as you go it save a lot of steps backward

Your are totally correct. Attaching the clutch cable was the last thing on my check list before I turned the key. I jumped into the light instead of walking to it. All I needed to do was give the adjustment screw a few turns and move the bevel washer to the other side of the lever. All good.

There were high fives going around when that engine started up. That was a big chore for the untrained. Doing 98% of it solo took about 30 hours. I didn’t really run into big problems other than some very stubborn bolts in the exhaust. Getting the engine back into the bay was a bit of a chore. The passenger side mount and front mount could have been designed a bit different to allow a bit more room to drop the engine in.

I feel like the next time I have to do engine work, I will not be intimidated.

One thing I learned…don’t fill up the tranny until the axles are back in….ask me how I know.

I am looking for some photos of the connection to the cage front and rear of a right side net. Anyone?

So I have a suspension on the car now, radio install is next.

I have installed some of Tom Blaney's bushings. Top Quality without a doubt. Recommended.

Well, you handled the "event" well. Nice pull off! Well, at least you didn't have to sit there in the pouring rain, LOL>

Thanks. I left my helmet on for a few minutes while I was hanging out on the bridge so no one would see me screaming at myself.:026:

- The urge to buy new tires will NEVER leave!! LOL

Ain't that the truth.

Nice write-up and I'm sure you'll work you way up the pack soon enough. Too funny about the tranny fluid!! The first time I did the engine thing it took me much longer to remove it than put back in. Guess that's what happens when you go a bit crazy with a digital camera, printing pictures, and labeling it all. See ya at the NARRC Runoffs.

You kind of have to understand how the car was originally built .
The drivetrain was installed as a unit with the cradle from the bottom .
Dang production based cars .

I am fairly certain that this sucks......and I dont mean my driving.
