Ok Here's my problem. Cutch pedal still feels firm, goes into gear 70% of the time no problem, but sometimes i have to let the peadal out some to get it into gear, adn other times I gotta force it in.

Once the car is in gear it is slipping very badly. Not what I have normally noticed when a clutch starts to go bad. This is all of a sudden loss of grabbing power.

It did this once before a few weeks ago for a few minutes when my GF was going to school. Then everything was fine again. Now it's being a little bish.

Not leaking fluid, Nothing on the clutch pedal, bleed the lines again (using up a 2 of the large bottles of fluid), I changed the slave cylinder about a year ago.

Is there a way to test the master cylinder? Cause I really dont wanna drop the tranny right now. , but I've been reduced to driving my 90 integra RS beater everywhere and I can't take it anymore.

Do you have any freeplay at the pedal? Mine was slipping before because the master cylinder rod was pushed in to much. I had to back it out in order to have some freeplay. I solved my problem.

As soon as you push the pedal in the clutch disengages. The rest of the travel in the clutch doesn't really do anything.
I can shift with the pedal half way down, if that makes any sense. But at the top part of travel is where it engage and disengages.
Clutch is 3 yrs old, clutch masters stage 3.

mine is doing the same thing i have a Ram grip 6 Puck extreme clutch i prolly

have like 30k miles on it and its already slipping feels to me like the pressure

plate is not giving enough clamping load on the clutch for it to grip im fixing to

pull it to figure out wtf is wrong with that ****

Im starting to get a throwout bearing chatter which pisses me off more cuz i

replaced everything 30k miles ago

Sometimes in heavy traffic when i push the clutch in and out often the clutch will

engage right off the floor instead of at the normal spot. anyone have any ideas to what my problems are Pressure Plate? Master Cylinder? Throw-out bearing?

And cant shift into 3rd gear if im racing and the revs are above 5500

I also have the throwout bearing, annoying as all hell shrill of doom.

Tell me how it goes when you take yours apart. Mr. Guinnepig.

Pullig

ite ill sure do that

How do I adjust the rod? I know what your talking about but Do I try to thread it from in the car....I suppose that is the only way to do that?
I dont think that is it but I'll be happy to try adjusting it again,
I just cannot get it to go in or out, I know it's threaded but I cant turn it in either direction.

Anyone else?

i have the same symptoms as all of you, i am about to change my clutch and flywheel. i cant wait to see if the clutch is the culprit.

Yeah, you should definitely get your clutch adjusted before you put any more miles on it. You need to get under the dash and loosen the lock nut on the push-rod and turn the rod one way or the other until you get some free play at the top of the pedal stroke, if the rod does not turn you might have to put a set of pliers on it and use a little force (not to much though!). As for your TOB, if it was not replaced when the new clutch was put in it wouldn't hurt to get that checked out, and make sure that every thing is greased up good.

well i tested the car by revving the car up in 1st gear all the way up to my

problem. It didnt actually move the car but u could feel a lil loading up of the car

from the front end. So i adjusted the rod untill it nomore moved the car. But i

think it may have been a lil too late cuz the damage is already done. What gets

me is that i put it in 1st and punch it starts breakin tires over like it should but

then i pop 2nd around redline and the rpms go to like 6500 and sit there and slip

i can feel it so if i let off the gas and then the clutch grabs and i can haul *** like

normal. it seems to shift easier in the higher rpms no grinds like before. But i

guess the clutch is shot

Yeah keep is updated, because I'm sitting in the same boat as far as symptoms go.

Yea dude I think your clutch is toasted and is going to keep slipping like there is no tomorrow. That sucks man. Did you let any one alse drive it, because they might have toasted the clutch.

I let my friend borrow my lude once to go to the store, and the motherf#cker burned the **** out of it, next thing you know I was replacing a clutch (good thing it was the stock one).

You gotta becareful with a clutch like that, because it grabs farely quick, and a lot of people don't know how to engage it and they might end up burning it in the process.

Make sure you replace that throwout bearing, because I'm sure as hell you don't want to drop the tranny again if the f#cker decides to go out, I think you know how annoying it can be.

Good luck broe

Well I tried adjusting that rod again.No love at all, I took the whole assembly apart and saw that it is cross threaded in there!!! YAY!!!.
So I put it back to gether as far as it can go back in and still got nada.

The GIRL just recently started driving the car also. Maybe she was letting it out real slow all the time or something?

She didn't drive it very long but it is starting to seem like a strange coincedence

But again would the clutch just go out like that, stock ones genearlly have a less drastic death, ie it starts to slip a little at first then gets worse?


Oh and thanks again CM for the PM's and advice, much appreciated

I had the same problem with my clutch about 1 yr before this new problem. I never found a fix for it but i did notice that when it doesn't want to go back into gear, if you let off the pedal a little and it'll go into gear.

I hope someone figures this out cause it may lead me to a solution to my problem.</TD></TR></TABLE>

HAHAHAHA. I have the same problem as your new problem. Sometimes my gear doesn't go in all the way. The way I can get it to go in gear is by letting the car move (if it is on a hill), or if I let out the clutch slowly. When I let it out slowly, it will get to a point RIGHT BEFORE the clutch engages. When it gets to the point...the qear lever will slip right into gear. As with the other issues, this existed with my H23 tranny as well as my H22.

It hasn't been an issue if I do the two things I listed above so I haven't worried about it.

Try this to see if it works for you. Don't force it into gear. That CANNOT be good.
