hard to go in 1st or reverse gear??

well i have a db1 teg with a b20/b16vtec swap with tranny and 3 stage clutch.
the problem that im having is that its hard to get it in 1st gear or reverse. i have to have the clutch around halfway to get it into to gear. ive also notice that the clutch cable is kinda tight with no play.

also when the car is off the car goes in gear fine.

Start posting in the correct forum. General Discussion is NOT for technical questions.

POSTING IN THE CORRECT FORUMS
So you’ve run a search and didn’t find anything, so you need to post a new thread. G2IC forums contains A LOT of different boards. Each one has a description. If you need HELP with something, chances are you need to post in the ASSISTANCE section. ASKING IF A PARTICULAR PRODUCT IS GOOD SHOULD NOT BE POSTED IN ASSISTANCE, BUT RATHER IN THE PRODUCT REVIEWS FORUM. You may NOT post in the General Discussion forum (or any other wrong forum, depending on your subject) just because you think it will get more attention and you’ll get your answer sooner! Read each forum’s or category’s description to help you decide which forum you should post in. It’s a no brainer. If you post in the wrong forum, the thread WILL get (re)moved and you may lose track of it.
