Means your clutch cable has some slack in it and maybe need some adjustment.

 

as the clutch begins to wear, you need to adjust the clutch cable accordingly to keep the same pedal feel.

yep, it's normal.

 

Or since his descriptions suggests that it happened really quickly I'm wondering if his cable is ready to snap? It seems like a worn clutch would be more slow and progressive... If the pedal starts to get stiff and/or sticky I'd grab a new cable. 30 bucks from autozone or 50 from Nissan. Lube it up and swap it out and then you don't have to worry about it.

 

I used to hate hydraulic clutches (because mine gave me hell for a while. Now I love them. after I hear these stories

 

my engagement point is at the floor because its the only way I can drive with this clutch.

 

I actually kind of like it the way it is now.
It was too high before.

Is there any immiment danger?

 

If it were sticky/creaky then you'd wanna replace the cable quick cuz once they snap you're basically broke down. I guess you can drive without disengaging the clutch but it's a bitch to do if you ever have to stop.

But if just adjusting it solved your problem then that's probably all you needed and should be set for a while.

 

hmm, mine is a bit sweaky.

If you meant squeaky, that's probably because of the throwout bearing.

 

well, it's mostly the pedal that's squeaky. but I think I can hear that throwout bearing thing when I release in first. Our trannys suck.

If it's wear on the clutch, shouldn't the engagement point be higher as opposed to lower?

So B14's have cable or hydraulic clutch?

All B14s have cable clutches.

What's the difference between cable and hydraulic, other than the obvious (cable uses a cable, etc.)?
Which is better?

 

A hydraulic system uses a master cyl. to push a slave cylinder which pushes on the pivot arm and clutch fork to disengage the clutch. A cable uses your leg to pull a cable (I know you push the pedal but you are pulling the cable)that is attached to the pivot arm which moves the clutch fork. IMO a hrdraulic system is more robust, easier, smoother, but it is more expensive. That is why it is put on our econoboxes. As a tip alot of other econoboxes get hydraulic setups (civic, eclipse,not sure about the corrolla), nissan is just cheap.
