time to replace the clutch...

 

thats wut i was thinkin i might just throw a 6 puck in there

 

If its a y8 its vtec. A six puck on that motor would be the worst decision ever.

 

my fault i know its a non vtec so i meant Y7 sry

 

jknbjkn k

 

uugh, When my clutch wore out it deff didnt grab hard at the bottom. it didnt grab period. Id check bleeding the lines and such before changing clutches...cause mien deff didnt act like that, and i have a d16z6.

 

some one suggested the tranny fluid

 

did you bleed it yet? tranny fluid has nothing to do with where the pedal grabs. it needs hydro fluid, bleed it and get the air out the lines.

 

If the clutch is hard to push in and catches at the floor, that sounds like a brand new stage 2+ racing clutch, not a worn one.

If it were in fact worn, it wouldnt catch until the clutch was completely all the way up, and it would be floppy and soft like a sponge.

 

noo the clutch doesnt feel floppy i just bleed the clutch when the car is off feels like a normal clutch until i throw it in gear it catches very low i check the tranny fluidd and it had a lil bit in there it didnt come pouring out only a lil bit did

 

bumppp

 

If the clutch catches that low, as long as its not making any grinding noises (which would be a problem) then you are fine, its just how your clutch catches. Did you recently install an aftermarket one?

 

no its stock clutch but im going to try adjustin it tommorrow
