so today i hopped into my car and thoguht..... wow... my clutch is so short.... must be going out..... i try to throw it in reverse... wont go in..... dammmmmm!!!!!!!! clutch is out......

my car is all OEM.... should i keep it all OEM or wat kinda set up would be best?..... and im also not trying to go broke either.....


thanks

 

if your car is stock, and you dont plan any major engine modifications, then you should stick with a stock set up since it might be the cheapest

 

but i drive my stock pretty hard.... very hard actually.... want something that will last....

 

Check the level of your clutch fluid.

 

def do this! dont condemn your clutch just yet! slave cylinders leak sometimes, you might need one of those suckers

 

I had the same issue when i first bought mine (used), it had air in the line. had my tech bleed the line and 20k later its still going strong

 

It's probably your clutch master cylinder, it could be leaking. Check the fluid level. If it's low look for fluid under it in the bay AND inside the cabin. It's not that un-common on the S2000. If that is not check out the slave, then try bleeding.

 

^^^yup

 

You drive your car hard? You cant drive your car. Granny shiftin’, not double clutchin’ like you should. You’re lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn’t blow the welds on your intake.

 

Borrowed my friends 240 once and this happened to me. It was like 450 whp and i was beating it. Then the clutched stopped working, I added some fliud and it was all good!

 

I agree, i was going to spend $800 for a new clutch and labor then my friend looked at the fluids and all i had was a leak in the master cylinder, or was it the slave cylinder? Anyways make sure you check those before going for the full clutch job, saved me hundreds.

 

ok thanks guys imma have a look at it right now... will get back to u guys....

 

my fluids are all good.... time to try to bleed the clutch.... WISH ME LUCK GUYSS!!

 

This is your clutch master cylinder, just wanna make sure you are in the right spot. (obviously not the blue FMU)


Here is where you bleed from.

 

If it comes to this, after the fluid check, I agree. I can get the OEM setup to slip on a hard 1-2 shift if I really try, but it borders on abusive technique. I doubt I am any quicker for it and it is not a problem often enough justify an upgrade to the PP. The stock setup is pretty good, not perfect, but pretty damn good.

 

ok guys thanks for the input... i decided to flush my system and it seems to be ok..... ahaha lets see how long it last...... thanks
