i currently got a clutchmaster stage3 clutch and flywheel, and the clutch its ABOUT to GO, it catches very top like theres nuthing left, only had these for a lil over 10k!!!!!!!!! i want to go with a stage2, i tried driving my friends 95 prelude si with a stage2, **** was DAMN STIFFFFFFFFF, i thought my stage3 was stiff, but his was way too stiff, i was wondering those who have stage2, how does it feel and what kinda brand is it??? lifetime??? i def like the stiffness, but nothing too exemtre, and i dun want stock feel, theres no way i can go back to stock feel after a stage3, also can i keep my stage3 pressure plate and ****, and only change the clutch disc it self??? and how long do i have left b4 i need to change my lighten flywheel? please help!! imam pretty clueless

 

send it to CM, have it re-surfaced, that way you basically got a brand new stage 3 clutch, at a fraction of the cost

 

can you tell me more details about this resurfacing stuff, and the cost for me to take the disc out and send it out and is it free for resurfacing?? i mean i have to leave the car at the shop when i am sending the disc out, all of this, i dunno if its worth it , mb imma being retarded here, please straighten me out

i've never had it done myself, not really sure about all the details, just drop clutch masters an E-mail, and they can give you all the details, i just know that it is possible to do it, and the stage 3 is much better than the stage 2, especially if you use nitrous.

 

Kevlar shouldn't ever die out. You might just have to adjust the clutch cable. I'd be damn suprised if you were able to toast a CM stage 3 in 10k miles w/ proper install. In any case, a call to CM wouldn't hurt. Resurfacing means to grind off a few thousands on the clutch disk assuming that it's been glazed from too much slipping.

 

hmm.. i have CM Stage3.. still under 500 miles right now.. so isnt really raging on it. it feels almost OEM to me when you step on the pedal.

 

??

 

I think he means adjust the engagement point of the clutch pedal...

I've had a lot of friends that think their clutches are going out, but they just had their pedals grossly adjusted and it didn't 'feel' right to them.

Then again, I sure hope you can't toast a CM stage 3..Cuz I just put one in, and want it to last 4 times that amount of mileage.

 

i've got like 12k miles on my CM stage 3, when i took it out, it still looked about brand new. and i drive extremly hard... full throttle shifting, donuts, burnouts, the works

 

how do you adjust the pedal? My cluch has been bleed a million times but it still feels lik it has play right away...

 

all i've ever had to do to get rid of play is to bleed the system.... if you've got a Helms manual, that should give you some useful help

 

I dunno why my clutch is soo bad, i think cuz i am in NYC, i get stuck on traffic alot, i hate it, i dunno if its just me, but stage3 clutch its hard to drive slow, when u try to move slow, you release the clutch slow, sometimes you might jerk the car badly, i just gun it.. lolz gas it and pop the clutch, and in traffic i try use less of the clutch, so whatever you guys mentioned imma going to give it a try... adjusting the clutch cable? engaging point?? bleeding?? lolz what else????

 

that's really weird about your clutch being stiff, mine isn't, i think your pressure plate may be going out, but i could be wrong, regardless, it'd probably be a good idea to call Honda and speak with a service advisor. maybe they could give you a better idea
