I raced a SRT-4 I jump 1car ahead by the time I hit 3rd I start walking away. But now something wrong with my clutch.

1) It got a little rough but was still shifting good, I shift from light to light find vibration on the pedal every time I shift 1-2-3-4 gears.

I got home now it don't want to shift at all.

2) I call my bro in Philly he told me to shift it while the car was off & I can shift to all gears then he told me to turn the car on in first gear & the car jerk forward the clutch was ingauging.

3) He aslo ask if it felt like the clutch was spinning I told him no that it was still gripping. It a ACT stage 3 clutch.

in his oppion it the cable he said if it was the gears the car would shift giving 10min from light to light. the pedal feel loose as hell to.

Any input will be appreciated.

sounds like your pressure plate isn't functioning correctly to me

ACT has a problem with civics and the pressure plate from what I've been told, possibly they have similar fitment issues with the RA as well.

if it was the cable it wouldn't shift at all.

Does the pedal feel light? If so then have someone bleed your clutch line. Also make sure there is fluid in the clutch resevoir. Your clutch is obviously not releasing. If you put the car in gear and start it does it lurch forward even though the clutch pedal is all the way down?

i would go look and see if the slave is moving when someone pushes the pedel in and start from there if it does move note the movment and if all is well i would call that an internal problem with the clutch, hope you figure it out.

My pop said the same thing to check the fuild & pump. Under my starter there a blue thing I press it in & it stays in. So it may be that. I been working a lot of ot to get it fix so I won't log on in long periods.

I press the clutch in in first gear & it lanches forward, correct.

To properly test if a clutch is holding, you do it in 5th gear, not 1st. Get the car rolling, slowly, about 15mph, put it in 5th, then floor it. The car should stall. If it doesn't and revs climb, it's slipping.

Thats the thing I press the clutch pedal in & it won't go into gear the only way is to put it in gear when the car is off.

I press it in & it stayed in. I will get this week off as I will be signing my closing paper for the house. I will try to get a mechanic to fix it. The extra tax refund got here so I'll use that. hopefully it not more that $600 to fix.
