hey guys i took my kick panel off tonight to look at my ecu(just curious) and when i was down there. i noticed that my clutch bar was coated with black lube and the top of my carpet had lube on it. so i noticed the cylinder that the clutch bar goes into has lube coming out of it. my clutch feels pretty stiff compared to the s2000s ive been into. could it be something bad? ive been working on cars for a bit but im new to clutches so any input would be helpful.

thanks,
ken

Doesn't sound like lube as much as a leaky clutch master cylinder. You should do a fluid change and youll see the black sand/mud that comes out of the master cylinder.

so do i need to replace anything? or just change the clutch fluid?

If it is the clutch master cylinder thats leaking, replacing it is the best.

hmmm yea because i was in a new 2009 s2000 and the clutch felt feather like. my friend with a 2001 the same thing, upsfella just had his clutch cylinder go out and his clutch felt the same way as mine..stiff.
