Clutch too damn hard!!!

[corey30349]

I have a ls tranny and like i tried to adjust the clutch but it still is hard as hell i thought it was cuz the swap but i tried alot of ppls clutches and dont feel like mine my cars clutch reminds me of a foxbody mustang clutch thas how hard it is but what could it be

i checked the fluids already
i adjusted the little adjuster it made it softer but its still had(un honda like)

The cause: Wrong parts combination, mainly the throw out bearing and the angle of the fork in combination with the pressure plate "cover." The angle of attack is wrong and the bearing binds on the fork, causing the effort to actually bend the fork to get enough throw.

that was on a jeep forum but could be your problem also

is it a stock clutch??? maybe you have an aftermarket clutch....if thats case congrats!

what year teg? you said fluids but how did you adjust it?

Ok if you have a cable tranny corey , which am sure you do ,then it could be the cable is melted an need a new one, if its not the cable something is out of align might have to take tranny out to see, if its hydro then there is no adjustments an you might need to check see which clutch is in there ..just my 0.02 cents

[corey30349]

yea i think its the cable cuz i have a cable tranny

[sullen]

take the cable off, oil it sufficiently. put it back on the tranny. see if that helps, if not, time to dive inside the bell housing. check the fork, when the car drives does it make a bad grinding noise? if so, it may be the fork is bent. that means take the tranny off the car, replace the throw out bearing, new fork, and put everything back together. if you do this, make sure you mark where the clutch is bolted to the flywheel. mark the holes #1, #2, and so on. if the clutch goes on in a different orientation that it came off, you could have clutch slip. thats just because of the way the clutch wears against the flywheel surface.

Stock pressure plate?

i love when people ask for help and give very limited info...

i love when people ask for help and give very limited info...lolol! everyday it's the same, "my car won't start, is it the battery?" or "my ride don't go in gear, what's wrong with it?" or "car makes a clunking noise, what is it?" :ninja: 1-800-PSYCHIC anyone?

Always need make, model, mods, decription of recent work done (nearly 1/2 the time a new problem is a result of a past "fix"), etc. Once the a basic diagnosis is made then the trial & error part comes in -- very seldom is a mechanic 100% positive until they see it, test it, fix it, and it works afterwards...

Grow a leg.

how much info is in the clutch is too damn hard wat do else can i say all i know is that the clutch is hard it drives normal no grinding or anything just the clutch is hard as hell and i have never seen a honda clutch that hard i dont really know that much since i recently bout the car i dont know if its aftermarket or not but i was just wondering should i replace the cable anyway since i know the guythat had it b4 me more than likely didnt replace it and just said fuck it and drove it like it was

[Tech5]

cable clutch will be alittle harder then hydro tranny any day but more then likely is maybe it has a aftermarket clutch or the cable shot, Me I would check the cable out first

[Tech5]

Know one can truely diagnosis a car over the phone,internet either, but these are tips you can use to try and figure it out , thanks hope i've helped , Joshua

[sullen]

i'd agree with josh. check the cable first of all, then try it out. after that, start diving into the forks, and TOB.

[corey30349]

thanks josh and sullen imma try that today and see if it work

[sullen]

cool man, if not, begin the learning process....
