We installed a brand new stock clutch in a 96 200sx 1.6,
after taking the tranny off and removing the clutch (warped),
We installed in the new one, Everything So far so good but after we put it back in the tranny and mounts we hooked up the cable but it was way to loose IT GAVE ALMOST NO PRESSURE we adjust all the way and barely any pressure on the peddle its so soft and doesnt pop back up al the way, Is this common or did we screw up some were, or do the cables stretch that easy, is their another adjuster on their that i dont other that the next to battery. has anybody ever done this before and happened to them or do i need to just go buy a new cable.
tips anything will be great
Help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA

if the peddle doesnt pop back up or is very loose i am thinking its your clutch cable, maybe not fastened right. it could also be the clutch arm itself.

when my clutch arm snapped the peddle wouldnt come back up and it had no pressure , im pretty sure yours didnt snap but its something to look into.

It is very possible for the cable to stretch. I would go with a new cable. I have heard of people using washers near the adjustment to compensate for the slack in the cable. Correct me if I am wrong guys.

It definately sounds like ur cable. How many miles were on the clutch and was the pedal pretty heavy?? If so, then the cable probably stretched quite a bit and a new cable is in order.

Could also be that the t/o bearing wasn't lubed enough and isn't sliding well on its shaft.
