Master cyclinder or Clutch bad

[itsmillz]

Ok i have a 2006 honda civic si jackson racing supercharger IHE my clutch is the stage 4 comp.ive had the clutch id say no longer then 5 months 6 max. from the moment i got the clutch i had a problem launching into 1st gear and even going into 2nd from a high rpm. well i thought maybe the clutch was to low because the guy who installed it said he thinks its to low so come back and ill adjust if u need me to im like ok. well i wasnt aware of the issues that may come from the clutch being to low

so time went on and i just brushed it off just thought u kno maybe this comes with had such a strong clutch i.e the getting locked out.. well this week i raced a camaro and everything was cool no problems. i didnt beat on the clutch in fact i didnt push it to the max and even still this clutch should be able to withstand this amount of power im making .which is 285 whp so after the race driving home i notice the engagement point was extremely low a couple days before i brought it to a shop and asked him to adjust it he did when leaving it felt better but i still felt the minor wall in front of getting in to the gears...

well the next day im like let me see if i can adjust it cuz maybe he didnt tighten the bolt enough or what ever so i do so and it feel better but still no flush shifting. so next day the engagement point is at the firewall again .except now if i hold it there for a brief moment it will go completely down and just sit there. so i go to my neighbors house and he bleeds the clutch for me to see if there there air and it temporarily fixes cuz the next morning it went back to what it was doing lol i dont think its the clutch but what do i know which is why im asking for your opinions and thoughts.... thanks....

You should.

1. Engage 1st gear.
2. Engage Reverse.
3. Rev to 9k.
4. Drop the clutch, squeel em a bit.
5. Uninstall the supercharger. (While the car is running)
6. Sell it on craigslist for $5000 claiming it makes 300whp on a Kia Forte.
7. Sell your car and buy a Toyota.




No but really, take it back to the guy who installed it. If there wasn't a problem before, something happened in the process of installation. Or maybe a defective product?

is the fluid topped off or did you run it dry for some reason

[itsmillz]

na its not dry and i brung it back to that guy he said its the master cylinder pump like if i pump the clutch it goes completely to the floor and doesnt come back up. if u pump it and look at the reservoir u see the fluid jumping up and down the guy said he tried to bleed it and nothing came out so he said its the pump any truth to that?>

I am not sure maybe someone else can chime in for you. But I have heard our CMC is not a very good one. Thats why I went with the omni CMC (via soxfan's recommendation)

[itsmillz]
