what type of clutch?

[dettoz]

hey all,

was wondering if anyone can give me some info about my clutch.
I have JDM 97' Civic EK3 (D15b engine) and my clutch is starting to be really loose, like as i step on it the friction point gets closer and closer to the end (carpet) and sometimes it'll just spring back up , can anyone tell me whats wrong?

And also what type of clutch would i be able to put in the car?

Thanks...:honda:

i just got my clutch changed 3 days ago..

but on my old clutch ... the friction point wasnt like that... it was just normal as far as i can tell... my car just accelerates really slowly.. but now my car goes faster...

btw your car is rare as f*ck !!! how much did u get it for??

peace^^

[dettoz]

yea its rare, its good and its a bad thing.. good that its rare but bad when u need to find shit for its.... its a head ****! haha
i picked it up for $11k.. gunne sell it soon tho...

Sports organic if your looking at getting some performance out of it, otherwise the standard HD is easier on the drive.

Or super hardcore ceramic clutch for race applications

[dettoz]

can anyone help with the problem i am having??

[dettoz]

all good, i have found the problem, low fluid in the resevoir... hope i don't have a leak ... thanks all

[Limbo]

if the clutch fliud is that low i would check for leaks and also bleed the clutch.

my clutch master cylinder was leaking on me once... i had fluid all ovr my carpet...

got it changed... OEM Honda $93

$20 install by a mobile mech...

[dettoz]

how do i bleed the clutch?? and where abouts can i check if the clutch master cylinder is leaking? sorry im a noob at this., :P

[n/a]

there's a nob near the header, loosen that to bleed. just follow the metal line from the clutch cyclinder if you're not sure.

hey man, im actually in the market for a new clutch and cant decide which to get..
just wondering b4 u got your Exedy HD clutch did u consider at all the Exedy Sports Organic? ive pretty much narrowed down my choices to these two. i was told by an expert mechanic who knows his stuff to go HD as Sports Organic is ideally more for RWD cars, therefore Nissans. he also said HD is good for maintaining your revs when down shifting. however i got two mates who've recently replaced their clutch with the sports organic and they really recommend it.

or anyone at all? Exedy Heavy Duty or Sports Organic? For daily driving, preferably something easy

thx

hey ray

before i had my sports organic, i had the exedy heavy duty. heavy duty feels like a stock clutch, so its easier on the pedal.. sports organic has a tougher clamp force but seriously u get used to it and feels way beefier. I think if u wanna spend that much money for a clutch that feels stock, then save a bit of dosh n get the standard exedy clutch kit HCK-6751.

IMO sports organic is better

[EK4R]

what mods you got? im going sport organic for the extra bite.

[bigjo5]

i guarentee you that its ur clutch master cylinder
if u want to see if its leaking.. well first of all one of the signs are the clutch fluid will be low. secondly to find where the leak is .. opend ur door on the driver side then pull ur seat back stick ur head under the steering wheeel where the pedals are and look under where the clutch pedal is .. it is attached to a gold lever kind athing.. and follow it to the clutch master and if u see it wet then your clutch master cylinder is leaking.

wats the price differences between the HD and sports organic... ???

[sub11z]

i have try the sport organic and HD. sport organic is a bit more heavy than HD and has more bite. Personally i will just stick to he HD unless if it is heaps moded.

but i do 8,000rpm launches...

[causeraybay]

AsH,

if so, down for a bulk buy? save $

price diff b/w the two clutches HD & Sports Organic is roughly $90
HD: $300 Give Take
Sports Organic: $390 Give Take
i think

[causeraybay]

this is a lil off the topic but i wanna know..

whats the standard labour/installation price to clutch installation? i was told around $250 but to be honest before i was given some figures i was only expecting to pay like $100. does anyone know of any cheap places to install clutches & also is there only one way u can install a clutch- like, an amateur will installing it is exactly same as an experienced guy?
