VeD mine my clutch feels amazing. Pair that with the new civic si cmc that I installed it it feels like a clutch should feel. No slack at all, no pedal travel that isn't moving fluid.

The oem clutch master cylinder will probably be the first thing to go (if anything is to go at all) with this clutch.

Now to get some synchros made. I still don't want to have to buy a complete gear-set just because my synchro is bad

As for my clutch comment, boosted applications don't count. But if all u have is an intake and ur clutch burns up it's because you did something wrong or the install was botched.

Yeah I know. I was just being sarcastic. Should have put it in red.

also taking a the smallest drill bit you got, and drilling out a orifice in the slave does wounder too (make sure it is full of brake fluid first and fully extended {off the car preferably}, then after drilling, you compress the slave and the fluid in there carrya out all the shavings you just created)

So either I'm not driving the car correctly or this "valve" is causing it to burn out prematurely...What valve are we talking about? Can I do something to adjust it when I get the clutch done?

if you follow from the slave cylinder and up along the hydraulic line, there will be a round puck like thing mounted along the frame rail, it is a damper/check-valve, that can easily be bypassed out of the system if wanted (i did not even bother buying it, when i converted mine )


edit: NM the 3g may not even have it , looking at part diagrams

3G is different. It's in the slave.

yeah no such thing on the CL slave (but it can still be drilled out/enlarged though for the orifice), and it made the pedal seem softer too, due to it not restricting the flow anymore

what your referring to is the "damper", and not the "check valve". the damper helps keep the vibrations down going to the pedal. the 2g has an external, which is that round puck your talking about, while the 3g has the damper built into the clutch master itself. thats the triangle plate you see towards the front/bottom

the slave cylinder on both 2g, 3g are the exact same and both have the same check valve, which are removed the same way

Civic cmc doesn't have the damper. Perhaps that's why my pedal feels so great now
