When I first got the car about 3 weeks ago the owner said the clutch was brand new and supposedly it bites still on 1st gear. When I take off on 1st gear it grabs a bit and the owner told me the clutch hasn't been breakin in yet. I put in 2,000 miles already ever since I got it.

 

english please, your post makes no sense. what the hell is bite in 1st gear?

 

This makes no sense. What are you asking?

 

for all you know it could be a stage 3 clutch that is meant to naturally grab hard.

 

ok it GRABS HARD

 

i doubt after all your noober-ish mannerisms anybody will help you now

 

dude you drove 2,000 miles in 3 weeks? thats the only thing i understood from your cluster-[freak] of words you called a question.

 

im still a newbie but damn is there even a question or just a staement?

 

lol. not sure. i think he was asking if its normal for clutches to grab hard all the time and not just because they are new. i think...

 

i had recently drove a type r (at work- put my LS to shame) with stage 3 clutch with 10k miles on it and it still grabed hard, so im assuming its how you drive it and what stage or if its stock...

x2. thats a shitload of miles in only 3 weeks. that'd be 35k/year!

 

I do about 110-120 miles 5 days a week, and usually do another 100-150 during the weekend, so yeah, I can imagine driving 2k miles in 3 weeks very likely.

 

He is from socal... what do you expect.

To answer your question. It depends on the clutch. Its good to seat it for the first 500 miles of street driving. Like i said it depends. Do you know what kind of clutch it is? Puck? disk?

 

dude....do you even know what kind of clutch you have in your car...they may have been dumb and went for a stage 3 unsprung disc with a xtreme pressure and you might not know

 

Is the clutch pedal very stiff? If so, you more than likely have an aftermarket upper stage clutch. My uncle had a stage 3 ceramic unsprung clutch in his race civic and it was horrible on the street. When I tried to drive it you had to rev it above 3,000 to start off and chirp 1,2,3.

--- What do you think?

 

it seems like your stereotyping people bc of where they live

 

usually clutch break-in is 300-500 miles.

and you way passed it. lol

 

That's because he is. Do you want to know why? Because you're from socal. You know what that means? YOU DRIVE LONG DISTANCES TO GET PLACES. Now he probably thinks your an idiot. You want to know why he thinks you're an idiot? Because you say things an idiot would say. Get a clue

 

where you live does not regulate what type of person you are. Stop with the negative comments, if you dont have any positve feedback, dont reply

 

yup dont reply dummie. SOCAL is the BEST OF THE WEST. lol i live like 15 mins away from gg.

 

yeah i wanna day it'll depend on the clutch and how you get off of it. because my clutch is an exedy stage two and it's about a year old. if i let go too quick it'll jerk really hard still. so i dunno.

Nobody mentioned anything about what kind of person he was because of where he lived. The question was how he was capable of putting 35k miles on his car in one year; the answer being because he lived in socal where everyone has to drive long distances daily. An answer based off of common sense

You have had nothing but negative feedback, yet you've replied a few times. Don't attack people and accuse them of being stereotypical and expect everyone to be ok with it.
