Default is my clutch a *****?

the other day some kid i know sits in my 94 ex and goes, " wow, thats a ***** clutch!!!" so im like ok your gay.

he said my clutch goes down to easy. like its not springy or stiff, its really easy to push down and comes up easy too. i can feel the engage point though.

i think its been more stiff when i start my car but once i go a couple miles it gets really easy to push down again.

my clutch has only 3k miles on it, preety much new. could be the clutch or clutch fluid?

you have to remember accords were "luxury sedans" so its gonna be soft... its tru our accord clutches are very easy to push down.

If you had a stock or equivelant clutch installed than that feel is correct. If you put a stage 2 or up with the correct pressure plate that's when it get's harder to push in.

i have a 96 and it doesnt seem as soft as when i drovemy friends civic... but it think its cuz his car was old and clutch was slipping... but anyways who cares if your clutch is soft.... ITS STILL A CLUTCH .... and if it functions properly than your in luck... ive been driving for a while and when your in traffic u would wish u didnt have a clutch. trust me....

most of my friends like the feel of my clutch more than any other car theyve ever driven....to me, honda clutches seem atlot smoother, and yet more accurate and precise feeling than nissan, mazda, etc

you also have to keep in mind the accord has a hydraulic clutch which is gonna be way easier than any cable clutch.

i like my clutch, i have the exedy stage 1 and its a little tiny bit stiffer than stock but im used to it now.
i drove one of the new 05 accord v6 clutches it felt really weird. very springy lets out really fast

Like jamey220 said you may need a new master and slave cylinder, which may be a good idea since you replaced your clutch anyway especially if you have a lot of mile's on the car.

I have a stage two that was made from a local shop and soon after I put that in I replaced my master and slave cylinder and noticed a huge difference. Things were still easy to engage but definately stiffer than the stock one.
