My car is a 94 H22 BB1. I recently purchased a lightened flywheel and had it installed with a stock replacement exedy clutch. After the installation of those components, there was a weird issue with the engagement of the clutch. Most importantly, after driving around after 30 mins, the clutch begins to slip and it gets so bad to the point where it just feels like there is no clutch. However, once the car cools down, the clutch will return to normal. Can somebody please help me identify this problem? I'm thinking that the flywheel that was installed might have been bad to begin with and the prior seller just shaved it and resurfaced a bad flywheel and sold it to me. I just want to make sure if that is the problem or not. All help is appreciated. Thank you.

 

Could be the springs in the pressure plate are bad or the wrong part for your car...hard to tell without seeing everything. Who bought the parts and who installed them?

 

was it a new flywheel or used?

 

I bought this flywheel off another guy locally because he said that he sold his prelude. The flywheel looked new but it might have been resurfaced so it looks really clean. I just want to identify the problem if its the clutch or the flywheel at this point. Thanks for your replies thus far. By the way, the clutch was new and I bought that clutch from clutchcity.com. Thanks.

And you confirmed the part#?? Just to make sure that's not it....

 

That part number on the clutch was confirmed when the shipment arrived. I really don't know why problem is happening since it only happens when the car is warm or has been driven after 30 mins.

 

how does the pedal feel?

 

Extremely light compared to how it felt before. In addition, the engagement point of release has moved from the middle to the pedal being fully released. It feels terrible and I had questioned the mechanic about this issue but he said since it is a hydralic clutch, the height of the pedal release for clutch engagement cannot be adjusted. He also stated that the clutch fork seems to be out almost 2 inches more than another prelude that he looked at. Thanks again for all your replies.

 

just for ***** and giggles, you might want to bleed the clutch line. and you can adjust the pedal, it just doesnt do a whole lot.
