i was just wondering whats wrong with my vtec. WHen i first had it you could feel when vtec hit cause it would pull hard. Now when my car hits vtec you can hear it but you dont feel a pull. I have a act 6 puck clutch and people just tell me that the clutch is worn out and slipping when vtec hits. Is this true and will getting a new clutch fix the problem. Also is a act 6 puck clutch not a good clutch to drive on the street and should i just go with an oem type r.

 

Check your timing

 

you have gotten used to the mad pulling poweR of the c5.

I've got the exact same problem with my JDM B18c-R. Vtec engages normaly, and sounds exactly the same as before.....but that "jerky pull" feel from hitting VTEC isnt quite like before.
Like B2Finity said, I also think it's the timing. I only noticed the lack of Vtec "pull" after my engine was rebuilt and new CM stage 3 clutch was installed. The only thing I can think of is the timing was not set correctly
Hope this helped

 

sounds like timing...

 

do a tune up on the car.

 

ride in a supra tt for a week, and you will think your itr is slower then civic, you just got use to the vtec.

 

I have the same problem, every since I took it in for a 30K maintance. The VTEC feels off, and my last three gears lag. what gives?

I think j00 got it on the head.

 

or you actually learnt how to drive so that you dont feel "VETACK" engage anymore.. personally i dont really see the reason in starting from a dead stop and going from 1500rpm's to 9000rpm's.... if i want vtec i'm going to launch at 5200....... That was a bunch of useless rambling.. but i agree w/ the other guys, you got used to it and now its not so noticable... try driving for a couple days w/o getting on it at all.. then see if it feels like your car is fast again lol.

mine doesn't feel like it pulls as hard, but then i look at how fast my speedo is climbing and i know that everything is all good.

 

check oil!
