    Clutch Sticking, slow to come back up

    My clutch started sticking the other day, and takes a second to come back up. This happened to me a while back(8 months or so) and eventually stopped working all together. I ended up replacing the Master and Slave cylinder and all was well again until 2 nights ago. I have not been driving it...

    How long should the stock clutch last?

    I'm starting to wonder how long the clutch in this car is going to hold. It's getting softer and sloppier every month. I guess my post should have been, "how long did the stock clutch last for you?". I would suspect on a stock car, it technically should last 50K. I'm starting to think 35K if...

    Another clutch thread? Yes. ACT vs SPEC vs ... ?

    So, my clutch is toast. I dont even want to take it on the freeway. Slips at like 3000 in 3rd, 4th, 5th... with even the slightest throttle input. I'm out of warranty and do not really want an OEM setup. Ive been looking at the ACT ZX4-HDSS (Street clutch) and their ZX4-HDG6 (6-puck sprung)...

    Difficulty with MT 1 - 2 shift

    I have a 2010 Hatch with the 2.5 and 6sp MT. Shifting from 1 to 2 is difficult, especially at 5K rpm or over. Unless I make a VERY definate pause at the neutral gate I "beat" the synchronizers, with the sound called "grinding the gears." Of course its the synchos that are suffering. Going up...

    New clutch installed - resistance?

    Hi all - I had a new clutch installed on my 3i (at only 38K) Dealer said it was normal wear and tear - I TOTALLY DISAGREE - this should not have happened at 38K. Anyways, I had a new clutch installed for just over $1,000 at a private garage and now the clutch pedal has little to no resistance -...
