Posted by jamesman, Sep-21-02 04:30 PM
okay i just got done putting in my clutch. the clutch engages very high in the pedal stroke, almost all the way to the top, is this normal. i also noticed that the pedal is rediculously soft i remember hearing that this will go back to normal in a little while. lastly, i get a little chatter when i engage the clutch, what is the best way to drive withe this clutch?
thanks
james

This clutch likes you to drive it hard... else it seems you can damage it... hehe, so you just got a liscense to get on it :-)

Just break it in right! My CM Stage 3 is the same way, it doesn't like being slipped, it just wants to be pretty much dropped.

I was driving around today and i noticed that my tranny is making a little noise, like rattling ot ticking. it used to make this noise before then it went away and now it is back. i drained my tranny when i replaced the clutch, and refilled it with mitsu tranny fluid, i also am getting this noise which I am 99 percent sure it the new TO bearing. it is like a hissing sound i think it is the TO bearing slipping, it goes away when the car warms up i bled the clutch again and that made it better. this ticking i'm getting it seems like it is not consistant. it wil go away and if i press the clutch a few times it will come back and then if i press it a few more times it will go away. is this normal? i'll just drive it around and hope it goes away. lates

I got that noise too after I installed my SPEC stage 3 clutch about 1000 miles ago. The noise seems to be getting better, but its not gone. It does go away sometimes if I push the clutch in or rev the car up, but then it'll come back again later... I also drained my fluid and replaced it with the mitsu fluid as well.
