Clutch Adjustment came undone??

Strange thing just happened to me 20 mins ago. I came to a red light and stoped, everything fine. I put the clutch in and it pretty much flew right in without any resistence which i thought was funny and then it wouldnt go into gear. So I figured that my clutch probly went. Had it towed home and just for the hell of it I started to twist the little clutch adjuster on the trans and I started it up and it went right into gear and drove and everything. I'm assuming that my adjuster came loose or something? I had to really twist though to get it to grab alright. Or is this a sign of my clutch cable on it's way out. The trans is a 91 crx si 5 spd, it's got a 160,000 on it with a fresh clutch. I already have a rebuilt trans coming *thank god* but I still would like to get to the bottom of this. I'm ording a new clutch cable to just to be safe and possibly a clutch. I'll see how it is when I pop the trans off.

was your clutch always kinda stiff to push in?

Are the plastic threads starting to get stripped on the adjustment part of the clutch cable? That's the only thing that I can think of that would cause your adjustment to slip.

What if that is happening? 'cause it seems when I adjust mine, it will feel ok for about a week, then start getting really hard to push in, and the friction point changes too. Say..closer to the floor.

yeah mine broke a while ago and I used a hose clamp to keep it from happening again.

Do you have a performance clutch?

Do you have a performance clutch?


was that directed to me?

Sorry, the question was for JimCRX, I forgot to use a quote.

But my thought was maybe if you have a performance clutch the pedal pressure is sometimes higher and maybe it's too much for the stock cable and it will stretch or stress it after a while.
