Help Please
 

I just bought a 91 civic hb today and the person i bought it from told me he thinks it needs a new clutch cable, but a mechanic told me it probly has somethin to do with the tranny but he has not looked at it. The problem is that when i press on the clutch it does not disengage if i start it in 1st it will start moving no matter how hard i press on the clutch. I need to get this car running for work by tommorow so please give me any information you might have for me thanks.

is there resistance when you press the pedal or does it just easily limp down?

RE: Help Please
 

yes theres resistance i press it down and it springs back up i also had my girl press it down and it pulled the arm thing up on the tranny

Sounds like clutch cable needs adjustment. Any grinding when you shift?

RE: Help Please
 

not really sure bout the grinding but how do you adjust the cable

RE: Help Please
 

Turn the nut at the clutch end of the cable

I tried to turn it as much as possible and i keep trying to start it and push the clutch in then put it in 1st but its like theres a wall there and when i try to put it in reverse it just grinds

Ihave the same car and the same problem. I found that part of the clutch pedal hadsnapped off where it connects to everything else. So when I push down the pedal it moves the stuff its conected to as well as the pedal itself, therefore not disengaging the clutch fully. This was the result of -48 C weather turning my car into an icecube making everything brittle and easily breakable. I hate winter.

alright i just actually drove it for the first time around the block it seems like it needs a new clutch but heres whats going on i cant start it in nutural or i wont be able to put it in 1st , so i start it in 1st then i freestyle shift or whatever you call that when you put it in 2nd with out the clutch and in second it doesnt get any power so im thinking it needs a new clutch but that still doesnt erxplain why i cant disengage the clutch when i press the clutch pedal. maybe the pressure plate also needs to be replaced? im not sure let me know what you think.
