T5 Clutch or Trans Issue?

UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE:

I got the cable out and inspected it. I did not see anything that looked off or broken, but I replaced it anyway. When I did I noted the new one is a lot tighter when reconnecting the clutch arm.

I also bought STS Machining delrin bushing to replace the rubber one on the cable.

I have been driving a while now with it and have not had the dragging issues. Everything seems to have returned to normal.

So hats off to Dan Stokes... good call

Be very leery. The new plastic sheathing cables like to stretch.

I will keep an eye on it and try and source a new OEM cable.

they're NLA. I have two of the good metal sheathed versions if you want to buy a used one.

Well, that's what I get for updating the thread. Got into a little spirited around town driving last night and then pulled into a parking lot coasting in 2nd and could feel the clutch dragging bad. It seams to only happen when I get the clutch hot.

Are you sure that your pressure plate is spaced properly? Have you put it up and looked through the sight hole on the housing to see what the bearing is doing?
