hey guys,

so i have an eg hatchback si (im from aus), it has a d16a8 (dohc non-vtec)

my friend has a eg hathback too (d16y1 sohc vtec) and it occured to me that my clutch is very different to his

first of all, my clutch engages almost straight away when i let go off the clutch, it engages as soon as you lift your toes up basically. does this seem normal?

another thing is that my clutch is really really stiff. is this bad? how can i change it, if i can.

just a bit curious that's it, nothing else is wrong with the clutch

hope you can help, thanks :)

do you know what kind (brand, type) of clutches you and your friend have?

umm i think both of ours are stock clutches... i'm not quite sure about mine really, the previous owner didn't mention he had an aftermarket clutch though

First thing to check is clutch fluid levels. Make sure they are both filled to the correct level. :thumb:

I never compared the DOHC to SOHC, I only owned SOHC's. Maybe someone who had owned both can help.
