My clutch has been acting weird lately. for some reason my clutch would shift its point of engagement. what i mean by that is that the clutch would start grabbing in a different area than normal.
reffering to the picture i drew (hopefully you can see it).
the pic is at http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/...4224&members=1

it starts engaging at point 2 (p2), it should normally be engaging at point 1 (p1). the weird thing is that this only occurs in the morning, when i first start the car. gradually over about half an hour it returns to normal. and is fine the rest of the day. i thought maybe its because it is cold and it gets better as it warms up (even though i know it shouldn't happen at all). the only problem with that theory is that when i am at school it has plenty of time to cool down again, yet it is still normal when i leave for home. i was hoping you guys could help me out.

 

It ur fluid level ok? Sounds like u don't have enough pressure for it.

 

i looked for a fluid level for that but i couldn't find, honestly i am not sure that a manual even uses fluid for that kind of operation. i thought it was all mechanical and did not involve hydrolics. i know automatics have a transmission fluid level. if i am wrong please give me an idea about where to find it.

 

I have an auto, so I am just guessing on a CL. Usually it not like a level container, like the brake fluid. It usually a dipstick, colored yellow, near the bottom part of the engine. Oh when u do it make sure the engine is off but ran before for a while, and also it on even ground. Oh And you read it like how u read an oil dipstick. pull out, wipe, and put back in, and pull out.

 

mmm i'm thinking a 5 spd doesn't have fluid. it's hydrolic so i'm thinking no fluid on that, could be wrong. i don't have a 5 spd anymore

 

On a regular car its next to the brake fluid in a seperate container (smaller). My car is auto but, take a look...

 

lol on a "regular" car. haha i see what you meant but i found that funny. to me a regular car is a manual- they are more fun to drive too. autos suck. but i love my car, she's my baby with or without a 5 spd.

 

Damn it those jotos at the torque convertor sites are taking a real long time to respond to be. I guess I should have told them I am a civic or something. hahaha

 

still no word on the performance torque converter?? i thought you just forgot or something. keep me informed when you find out.

 

just to the right of the brake fluid??? is this what you mean?

 

ok i've got a 5sp CL. The resevoir for the clutch fluid is right next to the brake fluid resevoir. Its a smaller version of it. And the CL's have a hydrolic clutch.

 

the picture says it all folks ^^^^^^^^^^

 

Cool so BigBrother just look and see if it is like low or not the color it should be.

 

yeah someone who knows what he's talking about! lol

 

"regular" as in any other car....

 

lol yeah i figured that's what you meant, but when i first read that i had a good chuckle to myself. i knew that 5 spds had fluid too... dohh oh well haven't had a manual in a while and it's not like i ever changed the fluid on that car... i did when i first got it, but i only had it for a year and half
