EM1 Clutch slipping

[IV73CI]

^^^ especially if the car doesnt have a dead pedal. I know i do it in the work car without even thinking.

x3 ...i do this too ..but i have a lil bit of freeplay on the pedal which is my resting pressure.. LOL.

just granny shift and disconnect the VTEC solenoid harness plug .. this will keep vtec out of the question .. LOL

yes way

its about average there. My EM1 had 203,000km and original clutch still going strong

if you take care of your car, it'll take care of you.

I'm on 160~ thou in my 77 civic. Second clutch, but only because we bought it off an old man who only drove it sundays, and then it went through two l platers. Pre-sure it's getting close to needing a third.. but probably not for a while, think I still have some headspace. I was one of those under revving l platers as opposed to an over revving one lol.

agree with bennjamin. I had single plate racing clutch and it was dead in no time not good for daily city driver
running exedy organic now and it's great. easy to drive but still launches well and no problems with the power. best value v performance imo but be sure to shop around (for parts AND labour).

Sorry to bring back the old thread guys...

I got exedy sports organic clutch installed and the spoon flywheel machined few months ago. The release point of the clutch is very high, about 3/4 up. Is this normal?

Has anyone experienced this? I got the mechanic to have a look at it again and said that theres nothing wrong with it. he bled the clutch twice and its still pretty high up.
