Sticky/Knotchy Clutch

[J'sS2K]

My clutch is kind of sticky when I release it slowly. I feel knots when I release it slowly. On fast releases, it seems fine. It only happens when I do it slowly. Any ideas Your inputs are appreciate.

possible you have a warped pressure plate ...you'd feel it at low speeds because the pressure plate would hit on the high spots...

It's probably the clutch slave cylinder rod. You need to sand down the nipple and re-grease the release fork as well as the slave cylinder. It happened to me and when I did do the quick fix, my clutch was as smooth as butter.

Hey Dude I had a simmialer problem what I did was take off the slave cylinder and cleaned , lubed the rod that goes to the throwout bearing fork. If you look on S2KI I think I seen a thread on the whole proceedure.

Hey guys !!

Embarrassing Night.......

Last night on my way home from work driving through the streets of LA ,

Around 1am ..

I rolled up upon an older gentleman In his bran New M3......Not a plate

sticker one ... I think to myself ok.... He just picked her up or hes out

havin a little fun with a car he took from work.

So after about the 2nd stop light of him taunting me. We come side by

side at about 15 miles per hour he looks over at me..Its on!!!!!! To the wood she goes ,

And for all of us S drivers 9gs comes fast in number 1 , down into second ,
and like a proud parent with a huge smile on my face The old girl is

actually inching away At this point M3 or not his 5000 lbs automatic

dumb truck was no match for my blk beauty..

Street racing at 1am up fairfax in the middle of LA is never a good idea!!!!

We come to to the next light, and to say the least hes not a happy camper!

But then again if i just spent 70 grand on a car and just got beat in a street race by a used honda ... Id be a bit upset as well

So pumped from my victory , of course we come up on the next red light.
And most nights i let every other doosh bag with no exhaust GO!!!

This time around i couldnt help it!!! As the old man stars strait ahead revving his car in neutral to 5 grand over and over i knew i had to give it one more go....

The light turns green , and i bring it out of the hole hard , red line she goes down into second right back to red , thinking im not spinning ??????

Yup ,,,shit!!!!! That oh so nasty smell of burnt clutch.....

For the most part i baby my car and a 34,000 miles i was a bit supprised ??
The clutch cooled down and feels perfect or at least for everyday driving ...
But as we all know its only a matter of time ...
So with that siad ...Do you guys have any recomendation on a clutch package that is still streetable , but maybe a bit stronger than stock ?
And if so like i menshioned in live in the LA area so if any of you can recomed a trust worthy shop for the install i would really appshate it ....
Sorry for such a long post

Cheers
Ryan
