How many people have had or think they are having clutch problems? I have been driving a stick for 8 years and never had a clutch go bad soo early. My civic spent the weekends at the track doing 6300 rpm launches just because I wanted it to. The clutch in my civic was the oem clutch and lasted between 80,000 and 120,000 don't remember. Mine in my tc has 23,000 and is grabing at the top of the pedal like its worn out. Anyone seem to have noticed this. I have a 06. BTW the dealer is looking into it tommorrow.

 

Not sure if its the clutch....but it lately has been tougher to get in gear....not sure if thats the same thing....but yeah i was thinking that too....i have 25K

 

Not the same thing. Shifting is fine clutch just doesn't seem like its grabbing by much.

 

i have 28k
auto-x many times on it, but took it out about 3weeks ago and i could tell it
was going

but before that it wasn't feeling right, or at least the way it used to

thats why im putting new one in this weekend, so i dont have to worry
i never liked the stock clutch on this car anyways

 

mine has a nasty squeek when i push the clutch in, it comes from inside the boot inside the engine bay it is definately not just the pedal squeeking. I had my dealer look at and said they are gonna replace the clutch for me. I asked him if i could use an aftermarket clutch and he said ya that would be fine. Should i do it while i can with free labor? I don't do much racing but i do take it to the track every once and a while and plan on getting a supercharger. What are some good clutches out that arent too aggresive?

 

clutch masters

 

where can i find the best pricing for a stage 2?

 

i have 27k, it also makes a noise when i push the pedal, also its losing some grip. im going to take it to the dealer soon, if they dont deal with it im going to buy an act clucht,act pressure plate , for me its the best one ,not the cheapest but the best.

 

no centerforce

 

I have a problem too, but it is that i have to puch the clutch in and then some more to get into gear. And i can feel something like its grinding when i hold the clutch down out of gear.

 

its all personal preference, ive driven many cars with clutchmaster clutches/flywheels
been very satisfied,and im friends with a few of their team drivers, so gotta help em out

 

I agree on the Clutchmasters as well, although I have no problems with center force clutches either. Im suprised people are having problems so early with the clutches considering how much HP they have held out of the box. Although its not completely out of the ordinary, I've replaced EVO stock clutches at as little as 12K miles. Be glad you dont have that labor ticket if you have to pay for it.

 

i second that.....its pretty hefty

 

My clutch grabs fine but it does squeek alot. Is this from engine breaking alot or is it just the pedal ? BTW I have about 64K miles.

 

Stop dumping your clutch at 5500 RPM's and the clutch will last. LOL j/k

 

I have only did that 4 times. I drove a honda civic with the stock clutch to the track 21 times and raced it and always dumped the clutch in it. I bashed it all the time It lasted me 120,000 miles I put 80,000 of that on it. I am just really hard on it but there is no excuse for it to feel the way it does now. I didn't say it was gone completely but it is very close another day at the track and it would be. I could understand it wearing out faster maybe around 50,000 or so but not 24,000.

 

all the people with clutch squeaks. i have had this problem 2 times before and it was the throw out bearing going bad both times so just a heads up everyone.

 

Is that expensive to fix?

 

my clutch makes the noise too when i push down on it. i brought it back to the dealership and they said they just had to lube it up a little. that was back in march. the sound was gone...but now its back again. i only have 27,000 miles on my car

 

Thats what they did with mine but they couldnt fix the noise so they just said they would put a new clutch in, hey i am not gonna complain if they give me a brand new one!
