i had my teg for only about 3 weeks now, i also learned to drive manual in this time, the last 2 weeks i've gotten a hang of the threshold on first gear completely and drive fine, no problems, and then all of the sudden yesterday i was leaving the gas station and when i let out to threshold while giving gas it seemed like i let it out too far and the car was shaking rhythmically like it was about to stall so i let out more and gave gas, i tried again and again and it still does that, it feels as if threshold has gotten shorter and is extremely difficult to find and hold, i also tried getting around 7 rpm in second and shift into third to see if it grinds and it didnt but it went into third pretty tough. Then today i parked and when i was stopped (car running) i put it into first to see if its ok and when i did i heard a knocking sound which seemed to be coming from the transmission, i made sure that clutch was down to the floor and it was, sound went away after a little while. I also don't know if I have a racing clutch or if it's just an old clutch, it's pretty tough to get to the floor, it goes smooth, but it's hard, but my friend said it could be a racing clutch, that pops up fast, so I don't know what it could be, help me out (this happened out of nowhere by the way, not progressive or anything), help me out please

cliffs: threshold seems to be extremely small in first gear. Shifting to 3rd seems a bit tough in high rpms. Put it into first gear while stopped and transmission started knocking. I have a tough clutch, don't know if it's a racing clutch or if it's worn out.

I believe u have a racing clutch...
For the knocking, try to check to see if u have still have transmission oil left...
Dont think anything is wrong with your car.. try that, and see if its better...

could that knocking be clutch chatter? what does clutch chatter sound like, when does it happen?

posting for 1Cloudwalker1 because of his trial restriction "holy ****, I pulled up to a stop sign and i was about to go, i put it into first, made sure clutch was to the floor, i didn't even let out the clutch or give it gas at all and as soon as i put it into first it shook and knocked hard like it stalled completely but the car never went off, WTF!!!"

ya went to the dealership, the clutch is fucked, so i found some shops that will do the installation for about 350 labor, I don't know what kind of clutch I should get, I can get a honda clutch from the dealership or I can get an aftermarket clutch but I heard that it's not good to put a performance clutch on a stock car, so I'm confused

why isnt good to get a aftermarket clutch for a stock car?
if your planning to fix up your car in the feature, i suggest get a racing clutch, act brand is the best out there for integra...

If your gonna get a stock clutch its a waste of money, one it doesnt' grab as good, two it cost as much as a aftermarket, so why not get a racing clutch instead???

don't know whos telling u not to get a aftermarket clutch... and why would it harm your stock engine??? it just a aftermarket clutch that grab more and a little more aggressive than your stock one..

Dont get confuse, research....

350 is a lot to replace a clutch, normally its only 200 or 250.. its not that hard to put in a new clutch..

Make sure you/they re-surface your flywheel. Don't forget to break it in properly.
