I have a 93 d16z6... for about a week my car had been running fine, until all of a sudden it felt as if the clutch pedal got very weak, and stopped going into gear easily. I think it's the pressure plate, but... here's the strange thing.

I was having to start the car in reverse just to be able to get it in reverse... and when I went to release the clutch to move, it would shake really bad, followed by a metal sound. The sound was kind of like a grinding/whining. I looked all over at the lines, slave, and master, and no leaks, or low fluids.

This week, I decided to drive it. At first it did the same thing, with the shaking and etc... until I drove it today. It still goes into gear a smidge rough, but no more shaking. Also, the clutch pedal is back to being stiff. WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?

I bought a clutch kit, and input shaft bearing. I'm going to do the install in about a week, but I can't figure what this is... do I need a clutch? Do I need to replace the slave and master? Or is it a line? HELP!!

 

Sounds like your clutch. When was the last time you got a clutch?

 

Uh.. about 40,000 ago.

 

I know it's all my clutch, but why is it mysteriously getting better?

 

IDK man, make sure to bleed it. But putting in a new clutch aint gunna hurt.

 

i dunno... its a lot of work if it turns out to be the friggin master cylender lol

 

Its not hard at all dude. Have you ever changed a clutch?

 

its simple to replace the master cylinder, just make sure you bleed the crap out of the lines once you install the new one, i would replace the slave cylinder too since its only like 20bux.

 

Yeah, a couple times. Once on my old EK, and once on this EG. It's not hard, you're right... it's just a pain in the *** and I'm actually in the process of moving too. When it rains, it ****ing pours, right?

 

20 bux for the cylinder or the boot
