i just installed a new tranny in my 89 daytona 5-speed.. before putting the new transaxle in i put a new clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing in and got my flywheel cut. now i have everything back togeather and in corectly except for my clutch cable. when i go to atach it to my clutch lever on the trans it dosent wanna budge. i was under there with my foot using all my leg strength to push up on it and it only buded about an inch. any ideas on how far its sposed to move after new clutch? or how much pressure should be aplied to atach the cable. i know when i took the old transaxle out it wasnt that dificult to disconect the cable. if anything i was thinking mabe that inch is all it needs to move? so mabe i need to adjust my cable? please let me know. any help would be great. my worst fear is the throwout bearing is jamed or crooked or somthing.


*EDIT:

i got the cable installed in the clutch lever. however, it dosent seem to disengage the clutch fully. when running and i push on the clutch pedal and try to put it in gear it wont go. reverse just grinds. i looked up how to adjust the cable but the manual says it has and auto adjusting clutch cable mechanism. i'm getting really frustrated at theis point for all the work i have done and to be hung up on little porblems like this. any advice would be great. thanks

It sounds like you have it jambed up in the clutch area

 

another update. recenlty after fooling around with difrent things i relized when the clutch pedal is to the floor the clutch is still engaged. however when i pull off about 2 inches i'm able to shift into any gear i want then release it to drive. but if i let off then shift into a gear and push back down on the clutch it trys to engage. i'm deaply confused into what is going on. any help at alll would be great.
