guys i dunno if this is a stupid question, but i recently put a act hdss clutch in my b16 powered ek hatch.....i put about 400-500 miles on it before i got on it....it has done really well, i was scratchin 3rd....any way i put a set of hasport mounts in the car along with full race traction bars....the clutch seems like it doesnt even bark second? whats the deal, is the clutch already goin out? is the traction bars making it keep traction? it doenst slip it just seems like it doenst have the grab it used to....am i paranoid or is there a problem? any input welcomed..

oh yea its basiccly a stock b16 just with some bolt ons.....the clutch has about 1000 miles on it max.

mine did the same when i put my new clutch in its probably just because when the clutch was new and both the flywheel and pressure plate were fresh new metal it grabed like hell now its grabbing normal now that every thing is worn in and i would bet your traction bars help it keep traction better.

 

we resurfaced the flywheel, but i have never heard of .110+, i dunno what the deal is, maybe its the bars

 

It could be that as well. hmmm.. So does it feel like the clutch slips?

 

no the clutch doesnt slip, just the grab going into gears just doesnt feel the same, it used to bark like crazy into second, its just not the same

 

By bark do you mean you can't light the tires anymore in 2nd? Damn what you got a 100lb flywheel?

 

Check the fluid level in the trans.

 

stock flywheel and yes i mean light the tires up...lol

 

anyone else?
