If you have a heavy clutch smell from the engine bay then it's possible the clutch has been glazed and worn. I suggest having your tranyn looked at since you got it used and has 31k miles on it.

IF the clutch pedal feels heavier than stock then it could most likely be an ACT clutch. If those clutch plates wear down, you'll have problems engaging into gear or might have air in the line.

Do you know if the car has been modified before-hand?

 

I bought the car with tein super street, turbo timer harness and pretty much that's it. It should be moded before, but should be not heavy mod. Original paint with not even a rock chip, so I don't think it was on track even once. Car is in new condition, well care overall.

I did bleed the clutch line, there was a little air, but nothing really changed, everything same. I will replace my clutch next week for sure, possiblly ACT HDSS + Prolite flywheel. And I will update if it's the clutch, hopefuly yes.

 

Yea if it's an ACT you're synchro's pretty much done for, you're transmission is going to need a new set of synchros and a new clutch. Stock clutch would be best at your current power level. You might also want to think about getting new springs because the teins are known to damage the shocks over time, especially your's since your car is a daily driver.

 

synchros for all gears? or main shaft.

I feel good with act street, I have it on my s2k already used to it.
Springs? It's super street coilover not s-tech lower springs.

 

My bad thoguht you had springs haha. The ACT clutch doesn't reacte well in the Evo tranny. My friend's 5 speed in his IX died after just 6k of driving with teh ACT Extreme, he was getting 3rd gear grinds. Jon from TRE also confirmed that the ACT clutch was too harsh on the tranny due to higher clamp loads to compensate for the friction plate material. I think it's just the synchros for first, maybe second as well. Can't really tell until you open it up.

 

i've been having the same problem i'm on the stock 6 speed with stock clutch on touched. I think it's just the colder weather. Well after last night i now need a new clutch so i'll see if maybe that fixes my problem

 

What did you do last night and how many miles are on your car?
