clutch goes out when driven hard.
hi guys. sorry to bother you guys again...however i'm having this minor problem which is kinda annoying me.
when i drive hard on my car (rev till 7000 rpm for 3 consecutive gears), my clutch pedal gets alot softer to push in...and the clutch pedal doesn't pop out as hard as it should. sort of like how ur clutch would feel if u didn't have any clutch fluid left.
after i pump the clutch a few times...and drive it lightly (shift at around 3-5 rpm through all gears)... the clutch goes back to normal. i check the fluid...all is still there..i checked for clutch leaks...didn't find any so far.
this problem only occured since i've been turboed. it was fine reving to like 8500 when i was N/A.
anybody know wut could be the problem?
sorry...i drive a 93 hatch stock b16 and boosted.

Really long shot but hear me out, since there is no fluid leaking you may be boiling the fluid in the lsave cylinder depending on how hot it is getting.
BLeed and flush your clutch system out see how that works

sounds possible to me i guess. hehe..i never really heard of that happening before. but yeah...i already planned to bleed and flush my clutch system this weekend...so ill up date to see if that helped. but its pretty scary driving it hard...and then i can't feel my clutch anymore. its really weird.

well...i installed the organic exedy clutch in my b16 when we did the swap. swap was done about 6 months ago? i didn't know i was going turbo...otherwise i woulda picked up a better clutch. i dont know how much power im making...i doubt i'm making much though. i'm only at 7psi w/ a t3/t4 turbonetics turbo. plus i'm getting restriction with my 2.25 pipping (again i didn't know i was going turbo). i'd be happy if i was in the 200's whp.
u just think my clutch sucks?
