ok heres the deal..i did a auto to 5 speed conversion(b18c) on my integra and i used a 93 civic clutch pedal and clutch lines...now heres the problem....i used a brand new exedy clutch and a used gsr flywheel...now when i step on the clutch it doesnt engage until its damn near on the floor,and as soon as i start to lift up it grabs...becuz of this it makes it hard to get into gear and its hard to shift fast when im racing...what can be the cause of this...my guess would be that the flywheel was resurfaced too many times , becuz i dont know the history of the flywheel..and i tried to adjust the pedal and that didnt work...has anyone had this problem b4?...a friend of mine had the same problem and he switched flywheels and it was fine...but im lookin for other options b4 i take down the trans and change flywheels and to find out that its not the problem...any input would be great
Thanks

 

I assume its a hydro.You have to bleed every last air bubble out off the thing.Its not easy.I bought a "speedbleeder" bleeder valve for the slave cylinder from NAPA.Its part number bk 675-1569.Its not listed for honda/acura so I had to do a little research for the number.I pumped about a pint of fluid to get all the air out.I have a full pedal now.

yes it is a hydro trans...so im assuming u had the same problem?...how does the speed bleeder work?...i guess ill try it out and hope it works....anyone else have this problem with diff solutions?

 

could just be the air trapped in lines like they said, but did you inspect the shift fork/clutch fork when you put the tranny on, one time I thought it was air in my lines, it wasn't, then I thought it was the slave cylinder or clutch master cylinder and replaced them both, it wasn't, and then I pulled the tranny and my shift fork was bent/cracked. Rare but possible.

na i didnt inspect the fork but when i change the throw out bearing it seemed fine..i didnt notice anything...well im prolly gonna bleed the clutch like hell today and ill let u guys know if it works

 

Shouldn't really matter how many times the flywheel was resurfaced, as long as it was done right. How many times was it resurfaced though?

Make sure everything is OK, slave/master cylinders aren't leaking and lines are connected right. Trying bleeding the line again and lastly make sure the pedal is adjusted right.
