POSSIBLE CLUTCH PROBLEM
Ok guys, here goes....
Brand new clutch system i.e. clutch disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing and throw out bearing and resurfaced flywheel. All oem for 2000 honda civic ex. Now my situation is that the engagement point has changed from new (3k miles ago) to almost off the floor. Car does not slip, or make any grinding noise except when put in reverse and thats only because I sometimes dont have it all the way in gear. Rpm does not rev fast and i dont need to downshift alot when going up hills. I've did the slippage test when put into forth gear and it stalls. Anyone knows what the problem could be?????

I was thinking about that, though I did notice that the clutch reservoir is lower than what it was but is not near the min mark... So if i bleed the clutch, do you suppose the engagement point will go back to the way it was?

Re: POSSIBLE CLUTCH PROBLEM
you should get some back from bleeding it, sounds like you might be losing some fluid or you had some major air bubbles in it. check around the reservoir too and see if it might have a leak, had to bleed my lines a couple times when I converted over to the K, but I would start there and watch the level on it after you get done, good luck man....

Re: POSSIBLE CLUTCH PROBLEM
yes, the engagement point is closer to me. I'm only asking so many questions because I tell you what... labor is expensive and besides, i'm a hands on guys and prefer to do my own job that way i know if i fd something up it would be my fault, lol.
