clutch going?

kingarthur · 11-06-2007, 10:20 AM

i was driving in stop and go grid lock today and i noticed that when every i started to release the clutch to start going i was hearing a strange noise i never heard before, how would i know if my clutch is going or not ?

if it's the clicking sound then it's normal because that's the sound of unlocking the gears

@ a stop, put the car in 3rd gear. take off. if the car starts accelerating, the clutch is good.

yes, you will need to feather slightly. But as long as you start accelerating your fine.

kingarthur · 11-07-2007, 10:16 PM

if i canget it to start going with out gas is that ok?

I Vtec, do you? · 11-07-2007, 10:25 PM

Yes, that would mean the clutch is gripping. If the car continues to idle with the clutch out and in gear.. then I think you would be ******.

i think my clutch is goin as well... if im in 3rd and i punch it the rpm's go up and i hear the engine getting loud but im not goin nowhere until about a couple seconds later... should i get a new clutch? if i should from where and what kind?....

***chrisfrofro*** · 11-08-2007, 01:35 AM

how many miles are on the car? i've seen/heard of several Si's clutches going at around 30k miles

Whocares05050 · 11-08-2007, 01:38 AM

If you know how to drive a MT, our clutch will last well over 100k miles

mischief316 · 11-08-2007, 12:53 PM

What will happened if you have a bad clutch but don't know about it in time?

yeah, your clutch is slipping, what the hell did you do to the car???

The clutches should last 50-70k miles at least.

It just breaks. Either in gear or not. When you step on it in gear, it just revs and not move or when the spring goes bad, the clutch gets really hard to depress or just get stuck halfway down/up.

jackolee · 11-08-2007, 01:17 PM

wow i need to test this....
i remeber one time i put it in third by accident and tried to go but it stalled....
but i was letting go of the clutch and gasing like i was in first so that maybe the problem...

you could be the best driver in the world but if you end up with a faulty clutch and it goes out early then there's nothing you can do.. it happens when it happens

That's what should happen. If the clutch slips and your car keeps running then your in trouble.

When a clutch is at it's WORST you can put the shifter in top gear, let the clutch out, and the car will still idle. I had a car come into the shop like this before.

jackolee · 11-08-2007, 03:54 PM

ohhh okay...
well i didnt read this sooner so i just tested it out and ...
idk exactly how i was suppose to do it but i just gases alittle in third and just dropped the clutch and wow biggest whip lash ive ever felt in my life while in a car.....
