Hello guys,

This was the first time I changed my clutch. I installed one of these OEM replacements: http://tinyurl.com/9swue from gripforce.

I also replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders and greased up everything that required it.

Now, I have about 150 miles on the new clutch and it's engaging a little better than right after I installed it but there's still a problem. It engages kind of high. It's fully engaged when the clutch pedal is almost all the way up. The freeplay in the pedal is about 1/2" right now. If I give it more freeplay 3/4 to 1" it starts flopping around too loose, the rod, the pedal assembly and everything in there is making noises when I use the clutch pedal and it just seems too loose to me compared to a brand new car. Brand new civics have smaller freeplay and they still engage lower. How can I make my eg work the same way? Btw, it's a 92 dx hatch.

Everything was installed properly. Can someone suggest how to go about fixing this? Basically, I want lower engagement point without the floppy pedal (less freeplay) and original pedal height. How do I accomplish this?

As the clutch gets broken in will it start engaging even higher or lower?

Thanks!

 

suggestions, ideas, solutions, whatever you got is welcome and much appreciated! come on guys... let me know what you think..

 

i need to know... help!

I remember when I installed my ACT clutch it engaged different after the break in period, theres an adjustment on the clutch pedal in the car on the height of the pedal.

 

I know there's an adjustment but how do I set it up for the before break in period and afterwards because I know the manuals call for adjustment after the break in period.

Should I have more freeplay during the break in period so the clutch grabs real good?

Right now if I give it enough freeplay the pedal starts to flap around like it's loose or something like nothing is holding it (spring or rod). How do I go about fixing this?

Thanks!

 

help!

 

i got the same feeling after getting the y8 swap in the cx.. it dosnt even need the pedal fully depressed - is fully bleed and installed correctly / ms /sv is good so i dont know-- not to cut in lol

 

hey no problem. as long as it's related.. now if someone could help out

i think my pedal feeling improved once I bled it with a buddy to hold the clutch pedal while i unscrewed and screwed the bleeder. Seems to get rid of bubbles much better than by pumping and pumping.

I still would like to hear from people who have experienced this and corrected it. How did you bled your clutch and how did you adjust the clutch pedal?

Thanks all!
