New Clutch, YAY!!!
 
yup... just had it finished last night @10pm

feels great :) i'm sure i will get leg cramps from stepping down on the damn clutch soo much though hahahaha

not to mention the girl who will try it out once i get the clutch broken in (its okay guys, she knows how to drive stick :cool:)

Awesome, what clutch did you go with?
My g/f refuses to attempt at driving the miata. She got in one day and pushed the clutch down and it scared her away. The miata has to have twice the clutch resistance compared to my truck. Either way, i'd rather her not drive it anyway.

what kind of clutch?

XxGoKoUxX 01-22-2008 07:00 PM

whoops... forgot to add in that little detail...

i got the ACT 6-puck w/ XT PP :)

i think it was around 400$ from Carolina Clutch

it's not as rough as you guys give it credit for to be honest.... i thought it was gonna be nasty hard gripping.... but i got use to it within the next mile or so, drive it like it's stock, even though the pressure on the clutch pedal doesn't feel stock =/

as for the master/slave cylinders.... i think they're shot.... they dont leak, but they gave out right when i was holding my fuckin foot down on the clutch.... it was a weird kind of going out too!

i would have the stick on 1st gear... with my foot fully down to the ground, and it would disengage, and very very slowly... start reengaging, with my foot still fully down there!

yay i fixed it... clutch feels great

cjernigan 01-23-2008 10:54 PM

Slave? Or did you do both?

Bryce 01-24-2008 12:14 AM

FWIW, I replaced both, slave and master and added a stainless braided line and I'm still having problems with engagement on mine. :(

XxGoKoUxX 01-24-2008 01:05 AM

adjust clutch pedal.... i dont have problems after adjusting clutch pedal..... i replaced both master+slave... didn't know which was going out since there was NO leak at all

Bryce 01-24-2008 01:07 AM

Done that. Every morning I have to adjust it a little more just to get it in gear.

XxGoKoUxX 01-25-2008 06:53 PM

i dont have any problems as of yet bryce... that sucks for u, they should start putting together some race-bred master and slave cylinders out there lol
