So you THINK your clutch is bad.... think again....
Got the car back from getting waterpump, tbelt, alt belt, etc, done, then I checked my plugs.... my goooodness.... they were not good. Just old, not covered in black or white stuff so im not leaning out or running rich. So I changed them with OEM stuff.
Well I took it for a drive, went thru the gears at 8500rpm, and low and behold....
the rev's dont drop down after shifting into gear as before. I had assumed the pressure plate was sticking.... it wasnt!!
The clutch grabs super hard, and rev's climb hard with car staying in vtec after shifting gears.
So yea, no need for this new exedy clutch kit.
Moral of the story, check your plugs before assuming something's wrong when it might be fine.
