Hi all,
I just had a Clutchmaster Stage 4 put in my 94 (55K miles). This is the first time I've had a new clutch in the car (bought car with clutch worn). My questions are this...
1) My factory clutch that was taken out would engage like any other clutch I have driven with no problem (release the clutch as you apply throttle). This worked for 5K miles that I had the old clutch. Now, I have the new clutch in the car and the clutch "shudders" on take-off (only in 1st gear). I've tried engaging at higher and lower RPMs but this didn't seem to correct it. I searched the site and found that some other NSXes with aftermarket clutches get a shudder and "blip" the throttle before full clutch release. I will try this today and see if it works for me. Any other ideas?
Next question:
2) I have been having trouble getting the car into gear when the car is at a standstill with the clutch fully pressed in. It won't go into gear easily (especially 1st or reverse). This happens whether the car has been parked for some time or if I am at a stoplight. However, when the car is moving, the shifting is just fine, no difficulty with the gears or shifting. Whats my problem here? Thanks for any help, its really getting aggravating.
