Only way to know what is going on.. is drop the tranny and look for yourself (assuming you did the clutch). Hopefully your pressure plate was tightened to spec and not as hard as you could torque it.

You do research.. it's not common for K-series clutches to be going out so quick unless you're banging the **** out of it. If you're referring to the synchros that's not a clutch.

Have you tried adjusting your clutch pedal under the dash ? I promise that it works, and solves some problems related to clutches.

Are you that much of an IGMO that you don't know what the fu|&lt; you're talking about. Last i checked.. typeS or base or any Hondas never really had any clutch problems.. maybe if you didn't rag your **** like it was going out of style you wouldn't have clutch issues. In my life of owning damn near every breed of honda, i've never had 1 clutch problem that was manufacturer problem. Only time you have real major clutch issues is if people like your dumbass rags the **** or boosts it and thinks a stock clutch is going to hold. maybe you need to stop trying to be "cool" and basing your experience off of 1 issue you had that was more likely caused by your IGMO ***. That's called stereotyping and stupidity. Holla at me when you know what the expletive is going on in the real world. BOI!

Tell me what clutch problems were there "smart" guy
