Exactly same symptom as this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdVJ5vnO6Jg

Noise stops if i lightly rest my foot on the clutch without depressing more than 5% of the depth.

Does any know how to fix this?

After doing some research, my speculation is that it's either my clutch release bearing is wearing out or my clutch master/slave cylinder are having issues.

I do know my clutch fluid are a bit dark, perhaps bleeding it with new fluid may fix it?

I really hope it's just the old fluids or clutch cylinders. Otherwise fixing the clutch bearing would mean taking out the gearbox to reach it

whens the last time oyu changed the gear oil? should do it 15 to 20,000 kms.. I'm changing mine in the next 4 to the Honda MTF.. try that first before any major work..
anyways thats what I was recommended and found out on the pommie forums..

Yea will be doing gearbox fluid soon as well but i doubt that will fix it.

Shifting is still smooth as is but will definitely bleed the clutch fluid and do the brake fluid at the same time.

Does anyone know much Litres is needed to do a full brake flush?

Thanks.

I bought 3 500mL Motul RBF600 and 1 Motul 5.1 for the clutch.

Another question, for valve clearance, do you think we can use the same spec as the civic si service manual for US/Canada?

I'm a bit hesitant since they use the k20a3 not k20a.

How do u get away with it up there

**Poeter** · 10-09-2010 04:51 PM

LOl they are better drivers up there. They don't crash and have accidents like some of the Sydney folks here.

Its general knowledge that cars are more expensive to own, register and insure in Sydney....

Qlders are lucky!

BTW....Thinking of selling my recently acquired FL front bar and lip. PM for more details!
