what are some common problems with crx clutches, other than the cable stretching?

 

bump

 

and the clutch cable snapping

well i had an ACT though...

 

Another common CRX problem is the clutch pedal bracket busting...This is a design flaw, keep your cable in good repair and you shouldnt have to worry about this though. Ive been through my original and 2 new ones.

 

anything that would cause the clutch to not fully engage?

 

bump

 

sqeaky pivot on the pedal.

 

yeah, not being adjusted

 

up

 

anything that would cause clutches to slip, even new ones

 

Maybe your problem is not the clutch... How is the condition of your flywheel? Maybe it needs a resurfacing.

 

ef's throw out bearings are terrible and sometimes cause lots of problems.

 

flywheel was resurfaced, tryed a 6 puck off e-bay which worked for 3 months then started slipping, then i resurfaced the flywheel and put a new clutchmasters stage 3 segmented kevlar and it slips on first try after cruising it for 50 miles to settle it in.


what are some problems the throwout bearing can cause other than noise

 

are u breaking in your clutch right?just thought i would ask

 

You know there is an adjuster there in the engine compartment that you can tighten or loosen you clutch cable right?

 

yeah, I even put in a new cable.

the 6 puck dosn't really need a break in, and the kevlar from clutchmasters i broke in like they said to

 

i have the same problem!!!!! sometimes it slips. and sometimes it grabs. usually in the morinning it slips . then after driving around a while it grabs. wtf

Design flaw, says who ? I have not seen a stock Honda's clutch bracket break. I just replaced a pedal assemble because the pedal broke. He had an act clutch setup, but the cable actually twisted around and around, making it harder and harder to engage the clutch. And after awhile the pedal broke.

when i bought my exedy organic, it said to break it in for at least 750 miles.....maybe 50 wasn't enough

 

i have an act flywheel and centerforce clutch and pressure plate and its never been able to spin the tires into second gear but it held boost really well, but a few days ago it started slipping under heavy load, but some clutch cable adjustment fixed the problem (loostened the nut) and it seems to hold now, although it still doesnt bite when i shift to second.

 

I've loosened it to the point where the gears don't want to go in , and no dice
