Well I notice that after a street race my clutch feather is bit higher. Thats if I do it more than once in day. Does this mean I am crappy driver or too hard on my clutch??? Like when I launch I pretty much dump it. I dont feather it. I also notice that its a little harder to shift into second gear than before when I drive normally. Like I am not your normal streetraceer but when there's and opportunity I'll do it.

Like I am just wondering how you guys do it at the track when you race more than once. Unless you have an aftermarket clutch.

Do you guys have any of these problems??

Once or twice, I don't know. I know after I beat it up autocrossing all day it usually takes a day or 2 to go back to normal. I don't know if its necessarily because of 3500 RPM starts, quick shifting (There's no need to actually drop it) or just getting really hot, then cooled a little, then heated, etc... and the disc gets a little glazed over and has to wear the layer off.
I do know for a fact that the stock clutch isn't intended as a racing disc, so if you race on it... it probably isn't going to act right afterwards.

I am guessing its the lauches. I dont do it too often though.

I just picture my clutch and how tiny it is...then of all the abuse it goes through because of me...then i scratch my head...and forget about it...what happens happens...

One day I went for some spirited driving around the local roads... the next day, my clutch kept slipping and grabbing at the end of the travel... I think i probably pushed it a "little" to hard... Though I do rev match when I drive, i think that a hour of non stop driving like that probably heated it up a little much... and since it's not nearly as new as it used to be...I think i should start treating it nice. For our cars do we have to drop the engine to put a new clutch+flywheel in, I'd think so considering where they're placed right...? Cause if so, then that pretty much blows a DIY clutch replacement out of the water doesn't it?

mine is probably worse, my clutch is starting to go out as well... 3 people learned how to drive stick in my car, including me...

well, our cars have hydrolic clutches, so its self adjusting. so depending on how you're driving at the moment, the clutch self adjusts itself and thats probably why your clutches grab at a higher release point.

You don't have to drop the engine completely, but you do need to get to the front engine mount and drop the front subframe....

Nah. You just drop the subframe and pull out the tranny.

any idea how tough that would be? How long would it take someone who's never done it before? If I were to do this myself I'd also replace the flywheel...

i have had my trans out two times. it took about 3 hours to take it out and the same in reverse. you don't drop the subframe by the way. once you take every thing off there is plenty of room to wiggle the trans out the bottom. if your going to replace the clutch and you have the money change out the fly wheel, you have to take it off anyways. if you want more details the pm me and i will try to do the best i can, later

oh my bad. I thought you did have to pull out the subframe.

I don't really need the details at the moment, since my clutch still works, but I'll remember this when it goes out, and then we'll talk....
