Hey guys, recently my clutch has been acting weird, and getting worse. Whats happening is that when i release the clutch, its not properly engaging, at least thats what i can gather. It will catch just enough to drive, but if i rev the engine too much it will rev all the way up instead of accelerating faster. I want to know what i can do about this, and if anyone knows exactly what is going on in there. Thanks guys

 

Your clutch is slipping...you need to replace it and the pressure plate...

 

definitely sounds like your clutch is shot. time for a new one

Yup. I just replaced mine at the end of last year. Didn't let it go quite that long, it just barely engaged and only slipped under "spirited" driving.

Too bad Garage Kwai screwed up the install. Along with everything else they did. Some days I really wish I had a garage.

 

thanks guys, anyone know where i can find an OEM d15 clutch and pressure plate cheap online?

 

try gripforce... it's an online company and you could also do walk-ins (if you're in california) i got an exedy oem replacement clutch from them.

 

thanks, that place has a nice OEM Exedy for $63 !! thats the best i've seen on the net!

 

thats gonna be the best choice, it has never let me down when i have installed the factory replacement unit. awesome clutch, and break it in correctly!

good luck!

 

break it in correctly? how so? just use it?...or is there some special like...tribal dance....???

 

Break in = No burn outs, no launches, no riding the clutch for atleast 500 miles. Some people do up to 1000 miles or next oil change.

 

ok sounds good. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

 

if not done properly may cause chatter and slippage and burned spots on the disk

 

eek, wouldnt want that, i can manage no burnouts (dont do em anyways) or launches or clutch riding, thats how i normally drive any how so yeah...works for 500 miles

is that with EVERYTHING? like a clutch kit? or is it just the clutch and no pressure plate? i think to be safe, you should replace the pressure plate also. that's just me

edit: nvm, i just went to gripforce's ebay and saw that it is indeed a KIT

 

try http://ecluthmaster.com they have good deals i got my oe exedy for like a $100 and it came with everything
