i recently replaced the throwout bearing and clutch release spring and cable on my da. When the tranny is off the car i can pull the clutch arm all the way up and it springs down like normal. the throwout bearing comes out when arm is lifted and pulled back down by the spring like normal with full play. im sure its all installed right if the spring was backwards itd just flop and my pedal would go to the floor. ok so i put the tranny back ou the car and now the arm comes up about an inch and then stops and cannot be lifted any higher without great force. my cable is loosened with the nut all the way to the top and i cant get the cable on. When forced on with a jack i have no play from the adjustment nut to the tranny arm er watever its just tight and cant be lifted. ive got no adjustment and theres no way i could get the cable back off without a jack to lift that arm.my pedal is also very stiff and then gives at the bottom to a dead spot where it doesnt wanna come back right away with my foot i can pretty much only granny shift it. it had adjustment before but now its tight with the adjustment nut all the way at the top. its like as soon as the throwout bearing hits the pressure plate it becomes solid and then pushes past its pivot point when i push the clutch giving me the dead spot. i have a exedy cable thats a little longer than stock and its tucked down out of sight but still has plenty of play and seemed to work before but then again my clutch has pretty much always been s***ty. my throwout bearing was broken when i went to replace it so i thought that was the problem but i just cant figure it out. any help would be greatly apreciated :???:
