Anyone?????


I called my dealer last week and told them the rubber on the clutch pedal was almost gone on the top half. I said I only have 17K, 60K warranty and half of the time driving I don't wear shoes. I was told they would replace it this time but not again. I thought dang do I have to replae the entore thing every 20K??? Anyone else experiencing this????

 

nope, not yet anyway.

i'd imagine its either the type of shoes you wear or youre dragging across them alot ?

 

I've seen this on the s2000 as well. One with low miles too. Crappy pedals i guess.

 

I cant stand these pedals in the rain i cant drive correctly with my shoe wet it just holds on 2 my shoe it drives me nuts plus thats screecchhh sound when you come off the clutch when its wet ugh !

 

lol that is on any car though. I am with you on hating the feeling and sound, bugs the **** out of me.

 

I'm suprised that they put those style pedals in the Si. I've only got 2,000 miles on mine and can already see where the rubber pads are wearing down. You'd think they would have just stuck with a metal pedal only. But I guess you get what you pay for. After all, it's still a Civic, not a Porshe.

 

A solid metal pedal probably would have been alot worse with wet shoes. But that's just my opinion.

 

A friend of mine has had his 07 Si for only a few months and the clutch nubs have worn off already.....

Personally I havent had any problems.......yet

 

were talking about the Si pedals right? with the anti slip rubber on it.

i saw a dc5 with like grip tape on the brake and clutch pedal, unless it was DIY or he bought those pedals ionno. ill find a pic later

 

Is there any particular advantage to this style of pedal, other than looks?

 

It has not bothered me, But mabye its becasue my old cars clutch pedal rubber fell off and i was stepping on bare metal. Imagine that in the wet wintery months,lol.

The rubber grips are amazing. Plus, with the metal gives the pedals a great looks with the interior.

 

I don't know about the Si or new Civics but since like 1984 (probably even earlier) all Civics/CRXs have had the same basic pedal design--2" square for clutch and brake with a rubber grip pad on top of it. In the rain, the rubber grip pads have no grip, so I took them off and cut grip tape "skate board tape" from 3M--cut it perfectly on the brake and clutch pedals--so instead of the rubber pads I my feet contact the grip tape--way better. ON the gas pedal I wanted it wider for heel-toe downshifts-so I got a drilled aluminum pedal which bolts onto the stock gas pedal. If you can remove the SI covers--grip tape is great!!

I've never had a problem with a rubber covered pedal before, which seems quite the contrary to what folks are mentioning here. Besides, who looks at their pedals?

 

where do you get the matching dead pedal..like in the concept or the Type R in europe. ?

 

i think i might try this griptape concept..since it's an easy do for me...since i skateboard. :]
