I have a 94 integra ls w/ 107k and the clutch pedal is really light (have not had the car for that long). Also, the shifter feels really notchy and sometimes has trouble getting into gear w/o double clutching. I just got a new clutch master cylinder and bled it so i know its not that. Under hard accceleration, I have to really feather the clutch during the 1-2 shift to keep the car from rocking. Is it the clutch?
Thanks

 

Sorry to tell you, but it sounds like a new clutch is in your immediate future.

 

Yep new clutch is needed.

 

not necessarily true...mine does this too and i have a new clutch. i was told to check my tranny fluid, i did and it was almost empty. i drained and filled it, and its still doing the same thing.

 

Thanks

 

When I changed to an aftermarket slave cylinder my clutch became very light. I bleed it and that didn't help. I did notice that the actuation rod that came with the aftermarket one was shorter than the stock one (the rod that sticks out of the slave and presses on the relaese fork). I did replace the clutch with an aftermarket at the same time, maybe the pressure plate isn't as strong as the the stock one was?? I have no shifting problems though.

 

yea, my pedal is REALLY light, but i don't have any shifting problems.

 

Under hard acceleration it doesn't grab firmly and I definitely can't chirp the tires in 2nd because if you don't feather it near the engagement point, it rocks. The clutch master is honda oem along w/ the fluid. I guess the clutch needs to go. Thanks
