A cranked up floor jack w/a 2x4 offers good support as well, and that is ok for the motor. Don't crawl under the car with that as a support.

Ok... I have a jack stand under it on the exhaust header, I just didn't know what other people were doing. Yeah when I asked a local mechanic what he thought the problem was he said it would be a spring that popped out. Now I'm just waiting for my parts to get here on Monday.

So after a long day I am finally ready for the install tomorrow. As I was trying to take off the flywheel bolts the socket broke. So I drove out to sears and replaced it. I get back home and get to the last bolt to find it is stripped. After hours of trying to get it out I decided to grind the top of the bolt off. So now I wait for tomorrow when my parts get here. I'll have some pics of the parts.

Got my Parts! But I didn't know I had to reuse the flywheel bolts, so now I have to go buy some bolts before I can get started.

Back from looking for the bolts I need. I had to go to the Acura dealership and pay $4.75 for one bolt. They said it would be in tomorrow. I have waited over a week so far whats one more day.

OK I got everything on and running. I don't think anyone is going to help me out but what is your clutch throw like? I don't know if this is the new feel of if I installed something wrong. Lets say the whole clutch swing is 6 inches. With the stock clutch It would start to grab around 4 inches. Now it grabs around 1 1/2 or 2 inches from the floor.
