Ok I have a clutchmaster Stage 3 Clutch in my civic and two days ago I did a nice burn out and now my clutch is grabbing right at the end like it is going out. The bitch only has 3000 miles on it. Any ideas?

 

Stg3? Idk man, are you running a stock or aftermarket flywheel?

 

did you properly break in the clutch?

are you sure your tires were smoking and not your clutch? Doesn't normally happen unless you don't break in the clutch correctly, but it does happen. Heard a story a while back about this happening to a twin disk clutch.

 

*Nelson Voice* Ha Ha.

But in all seriousness, if you didnt break it in properly you can really fk it if your not careful.

Clutch was not slammed or raced at all for 2500 miles.

Try bleeding the clutch maybe that will help ::shrugs::

 

ok ill try that thanks alot for the help guys anyother help is appreciated also.

 

Dnt do burnouts. But was the clutch installed properly?Flywheel resurfaced?
And you are positive that you were doing a burnout and not a clutch out?

 

that sort of scares the hell out of me because I just bought a stg3 with a fly

dont be scared, this dude just messed up his clutch, its not the clutch quaultity.

 

I was definately doing a burnout. The flywheel and clutch kinda made some noices like they were grinding against eachother. And for the past couple of weeks the clutch has been ground a little bit considering second gear syncro going bad.

 

buy an rps clutch from me

 

ok...the clutch does rub against the flywheel, it's actually mounted to it. That is how the transmission is engaged and disengaged.

I think your clutch is just fucked.

 

how do you break in a clutch? no high revving for the first 3k?

 

drive it "normal" for the first 500 miles.
