clutch problems

[d15z1SUX]

during the last few days my clutch has lost a lot of feel... so its like too easy to press down... and the friction point has become lower... about half of the original... and i had trouble getting it out of reverse tonight... :( and its a stock clutch and gear box... its the extra long gear box that came with the d15z1 engine... does any1 believe that i can do 100kph in 2nd gear... at 6000rpm... hahaha... i really can... but it takes ages to reach 100... either that or my speedo is stuffed? lol

Describe the cluth problem more.

What exactly is wrong with the pedal?

[d15z1SUX]

well.... its just the clutch has gone all soft... and i dont really know how else to explain it?! hahaha

[wynode]

Does it crunch gears when you change?

DO you have difficult putting it into gears?

When you say the clutch pedal has changed......does that mean it doesn't engage the clutch till the pedal is all the way to the top?

[d15z1SUX]

oicccc...
nah the gears engage fine theres no problem with that
just that the clutch has become really light and sensitve

[wynode]

EDIT: Nevermind thought you said 'tight'.

Its the pressure plate. i've gone through the same issues, its all good after i changed the clutch.....

Well i replaced my clutch not long ago. My clutch went from really hard to really light to use but its starting to go back to normal. It does sound like a pressure plate issue though. Maybe you should take it to the transmission people to get a look at it. A new clutch will set you back about $600

hrmm... crap... my tranny n engine suck i dont want to keep either... but i dont have the cash to upgrade to a better engine and transmission yet... wud the clutch hold up for a while do u think? like still be drivable for a while? wud i expect it to just stop working all together? i once had a ED hatch n i totally killed the clutch n it wudnt engage any gears at all haha...

Take a look where you park in the garage, is it dropping any fluid (even a small amount?) It could 'possibly' be your Master cylinder or Slave cylinder.

yeah, change your clutch fluild and try again.

[d15z1SUX]

i dont know how to change it... and i dont have a garage... i park in a apartment parking lot... and change parking spots all the time so its a bit hard to notice? i topped up the fluid in the thing for the clutch... or do i hafta change it all? it seemed to work fine yesterday but today it was the same again... but then i pumped my clutch a few times then it seemed to be fine again?

[wynode]

Take it to a mechanic then.

[d15z1SUX]
