Stiff Clutch

[celox performance]

Over the last couple of weeks my clutch has been getting stiffer. The bite is still in the same place but the pedal requires a lot of work to press it down :? . It's not slipping at all, just heavy.

Your legs are getting weak! some squats should cure the problem :lol:

Maybe due for a clutch fluid change?

Nothing needed to tone my legs up mate, i've got my M3 for that one :lol:

I didn't realise the clutch fluid needed changing, i've never changed the clutch fluid before in any car i've had :roll: . I'll get it booked in for a fluid change asap.

yep I would start with a clutch fluid change and if that doesn't solve your problem it could be a tired clutch release bearing

clutch release bearing

How big a job is that to do? I don't trust anyone around here with gearbox/clutches so if it's a big job i'd probably get it towed to TGM.

Hi mate, recently had a similar problem with my EK4! Heavy clutch, occasional juddering, not going into gear as well - Got the clutch replaced and it's amazing how light the pedal is! Have the basics checked out first though, it's never nice forking out for a new clutch :green:

Big job - basically a clutch change. TGM have got a much better price now on clutches

Your problem might be the ball and knuckle on the selector fork, it might be dry and just needs greasing with high temp grease, it takes about 20 mins if that todo or get your local honda garage to do it. This is a common problem on the s2000 with the same symptoms as you've got.
