am installing my new Spec stage 2 clutch tomorrow anyone got any tips?

 

you need to hang the motor from the top and drop the eps subframe other than that its cake 3 hours in and out

 

After you finish post how it went because im replacing mine in a couple of weeks, I dont know whats up with my clutch but i dont even have to press the gas when i depress the clutch and the thing is i dont think its worn out because it doesnt slip it still grabs so i was thinking it might be the preassure plate so im replacing it?

 

post how to do please

 

i know it could be a pain in the waa-hoo taking pics while wrenching on your car but a DIY would be greatly appreciated

 

Have you ever done a clutch job before? If not, don't try and rush the job, take your time & allot yourself an extra day to finish if something doesn't go to plan.

Get yourself the following:
-A service manual
-A second set of hands
-A good jack and set of jack stands
-A tranny jack
-A clutch centering tool (I've not had much luck with the cheap plastic ones you get with a new clutch)
-An accurate torque wrench
-A spare vehicle in case you have to make an emergency run for parts/tools

And will you be resurfacing the flywheel or replacing it? A lightweight aluminum flywheel would be a great addition to this car, in my opinion. Make sure you've got blue loctite on hand for the flywheel bolts.

 

2 weeks without my fit am waiting for the master mind of my dad to come install my clutch its going to be a mission i will update anything on this.

 

wish you were closer i could have helped you out if you have any ? letme know i will help you the best i can

 

has anyone had any issues with the spec clutch on the fit?

I don't want to make anyone nervous here. They had been an institution on the previous cars' platform, but all their clutches for us have had a 98% failure rate who's bought from them in the past 2-3 years.

[one example, seen the same from some other groups]

I have an older spec stage 1 in my other car and LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. That thing grips like hell. Your going to get good at rev matching REALLY quickly. I just took my other car around the neighbor hood for the first time in a few months and it was a drop kick in the ass... and a hella lotta fun.

I'm curious to hear where the engagement is in the pedal travel for the specs on the Fit. For my other car, it put it at the final 1/8" exactly where it should be and works like a light switch.

goodluck! don't forget the breakin procedure.

 

i actually tried doing it myself cause my master mind dad told me some steps but when i went in to do it i was like F@*K this shit its like putting me in a heart surgery room you dont know what to do first so 2 weeks without a fit again. i just wanna ride my fit

 

I feel your pain, I've had a car down for 2 years now thinking that something would be straight forward.... ya its a kick in the ass. but you'll definitely come out of this a wiser person. hey man, at least its an easy simple car to work on.

 

yeah thats the good thing. i just have to wait. the funny thing about this hole thing is my mom caught my dad cheating on her and now idk what am i gonna tell him to come fix my car lmao i'll think of something to tell him am just laughing

 

Order one today, you should have it before the weekend, and be armed with the answer to just about any question or how-to on your car that exists. www.helminc.com Changing a clutch with no experience and no help is possible - I did it on my Prelude, which with it's ATTS (and much heavier transmission) is a lot trickier car to do the job on.


Oh, and you're gonna have a real tough time pulling the tranny with the car on ramps. Get it up on jackstands, as high as possible to give yourself enough clearance to get the tranny out from underneath. Just make sure it's level when you put tranny fluid back in.

 

Just my .02 cents but buy some magnetic bowls for the bolts they are freakin life savers
