So I just finished installing a new clutch, the factory clutch was working great though it was buzzing and I am getting ready for more power. Long story short I replace the OEM flywheel and clutch assembly with an ACT Heavy Duty Clutch Disc, ACT Streetlight Pressure Plate, OEM Clutch Disc, OEM Throughout Bearing and OEM Pilot Bearing. I went to test drive the car this evening and I cannot get the clutch to fully release. I can shift it just fine with the car off but not running. If I start the car in gear I can get it moving and shift into higher forward gears with medium effort but going back to lower gears is near impossible. I can see the pressure plate and pushing the clutch does flex the fingers but it does not disengage fully.

I have check the following

1.) The Clutch Fork is properly seated and does pull on the clutch fingers
2.) Slave Cylinder for leaks or issues
3.) adjusted the clutch master cylinder all the way out
4.) Bled the system under pressure
5.) Check the torque on the PP bolts

The only thing I can think of is that either the slave cylinder is not moving as far as it should or there is a problem with the new parts. I have run this setup in many cars with an OEM flywheel, this however is the first time with the ACT flywheel.

 

when i did my clutch this happened to me , i adjusted the clutch pedal and gravity bled the system and everything was fine after that.

 

Rebleed the clutch line. After you are certain the air is out, then adjust the pedal

Nice progress so far and I too envy that sexy ass garage! The only thing sexy about my carport is my 26ft Seaswirl that makes the s2k look like a midget lol

 

Hey Scott, did you put a control switch to the clutch bypass or completely jumped it?



I used the wire taps with the spade connector to a momentary push button for my setup.

 

Push button???? I did a wire with spade connectors that just jumps the connector. Took 10 seconds and has worked for over 2 years. Just jump in car turn key push button. No clutch needed to start. B

 

Wow, how did I miss this?! It's about time they offered a kit with a 1500. Make sure to post up the secret password so the rest of us can order this "custom" setup from SOS.

I'm curious to see how the 1500 does with a FMIC. That should be a solid track combo. Also curious what you think of the noise levels. My 1200 sounded like it was chewing up a box of rocks until I added a CAI to muffle the sound.

I was really looking forward to watching you tweak the Ptuning kit, but this will be more fun from a push-the-envelope standpoint. Going where no S2000 owner has gone before... And dragging SOS into a new market where there is plenty of demand and no competition!

 

Just in case my 2 year old boy gets curious It's like having 2 start buttons LOL

 

Thats Bull S*** SOS has told me countless times they will not make me a FMIC. I see where I stand with them.
