When i start my car and drive for a while the clutch engage is good and theres nothing wrong in between shifts, but when i turn the car off and then start it again to drive it, the car runs funny. What i mean is that when i shift gears and release the clutch it seems that it wont let the clutch engage and the car bogs on its face. It does it in every gear, during acceleration it also does it(not alot but enough to **** me off). The funny part is that if i rev the car past 3k and then shift, it doesnt seem to bog as bad. The setup is a 92 HB w/ B18c, the pressure plate is a OEM GSR one and the disk is a ACT, also i changed the flywheel and still im having problems. My question is if anyone might know whats causeing this? Can it be the disk, pressure plate, slave cylinder?? also the clutch pressure is good and i already bled the system. Thanks in advance

 

check if you are not leaking no oil in bellhousing area. try bleeding the clutch, if doesn't work you might need a clutch replacment

where is that at???

 

i'm having a similar problem with my b18b coupe. mine doesn't do it all the time either. and when it does it shifts fine into gear and usually happens in first gear first then in every gear. after putting in gear i would take off and at partial (slight) throttle the car would just seem to just bog and my air fuel gauge would go to lean. but when hitting the throttle a little more the car would take off normally and when i go back to part throttle it would do it again. i can't figure out what it is either. so far i have changed the slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder. i have bled the system and it didn't do it for a couple of days and today it started doing it again. i'm hoping its the clutch since i have a brand new exedy stage 1 laying here just haven't had the time to put in work. if anyone knows what this may be help us both out.

 

thats what im hoping for, i hope it only the clutch

Just check if you are not leaking oil anywhere, are there any oil pudles where you park at. Does your car do the same in nuetral?

 

there are no puddles where i parl and it doesnt do it in nuetral

 

then your clutch prolly started slipping. BTW I think stage 1 act disks are comparable to stock ones. Do a fifth gear test.

Also did you resurface your flywheel it could be glazed.

It sounds like you do have a clutch problem, but I think the reason for the car bogging below 3 grand is related to an ignition problem. Try replacing cap, rotor, wires, plug, coil, etc.

i dont see how changing any of those things have anything to matter, since it only does it gear. it doesnt bog when i rev it at neutral

5th gear test - drive in second put in fifth and floor it if it slips then you clutch is gone

 

maybe the pressure plate is bad
