Sounds like the clutch isnt disengaging completely or your leaving your foot on the clutch pedal, which I doubt...

change the clutch to a clutchmaster stage 3 make sure someone installs it right

adjust clutch pedal where the clutch disengages completely

Clutches are a wear item, the more Torque

the more often you are going to change them.....

Your right. It isn't disengaging completely.
That is the first thing my mechanic said and we decided to change out the clutch.

Please refer to my previous post right before this about the Magnus CMC.
I have a real real good feeling that is actually the issue.

The thing is... I am biting at about 2.5" - 3" off the floor. Normal biting, but the height of the clutch pedal itself is sitting dead even with the brake. This isn't normal.

If I bring the pedal height to where a stock X has, then the bite itself just got raised to about 5" off the floor and is higher than a mustangs lol.

Is it possible to raise the pedal without changing the biting point?

Don't sell, it should be fixable. Take it to a different shop

If this whole thing can be solved by the Magnus CMC being replaced, then remove it and keep the car. AMS has a new CMC package that from what I have read, does not have any problems. And, Evo's hold their value well and they are so mod friendly. Really, for the money, you cannot buy a better performance bargain. A Civic is still a Civic at the end of the day. Pull into a meet and only the Ricers will gawk over your car.
