hi guys i am new to the forum...

newayz bought my car about 6 months ago and it has always had a hard clutch pedal, even after changing the clutch and cable. Never thought much of it , i was the only one that i knew with cable tranny, but recently one of my friend bought a crx and it had a soft clutch petal, felt just like a hydro clutch. Also the clutch petal squeeks everythime i press it. Other than the hard pedal the clutch itself is very good, i can chirp 2nd easily.
U guys have any idea what might be causing this?
Thanxs

 

do you have a Si? they usually have stiffer pedal feel then Std. and DX models

 

My stock dx had a really stiff pedal. Eventually one day the clutch wouldn't disengage and the pedal felt very loose, so we dropped the tranny out and the arm that disengages the clutch was siezed up. Either way I wouldn't worry about it, just drive it til something goes wrong cause i'd hate to drop the tranny for nothing.

 

I think you might need your throw-out lubed up. If you pull the tranny anytime soon check to see if it has enough bearing grease.

 

I dont think it has anything to do with the tranny. I have a DX hatch but with a ZC swap, and using a Si tranny, had the problem with both the DX and Si tranny. I greased the throw out bearing when i changed the clutch on both the DX and SI trannys. I used the same clutch on both trannys, only had the clutch on the DX for like a month. I changed the cable when i put the SI on, old one felt sticky.

 

this could be many things. check the cable and the clutch... i have a stiff pedal and still havent found out whats wrong after about a year. but now my second pops out when i let off the gas and third is grinding so be careful

Yeah... my first pops out, but only like once evey two or three weeks... scares the **** outta me when it happens, loud pop and verrrrrrrrrm... the drivers behind me almost smashed into me a couple of times.

 

you MIGHT need a new hydrolic cylinder in your clutch pedal shock...or you can just got a whole new one..

hmmmm... never heard of a hydrolic cylinder in the pedal.

 

could either be the clutch cable itself, or it could be the spring that connects the clutch pedal to the entire pedal assembly....located under the dash. ditto....what is a hydraulic cylinder for the pedal??
