hey guys, I’ve noticed since I’ve bought  
my car, when I step on to the clutch it goes in too easily…  
other than that, no problem with shifting, just the clutch makes  
a sqeaking noise everytime I engage it along with the loose feel.

So far I’ve heard it could be the pressure plate from  
a buddy of mine, but if you guys got any other thoughts  
or solutions that’d be appreciated.

There is no need to bump Technical threads.

Take it to a mechanic.

Possible hyrdaulic leak in the system, ie. slave cylinder - or master etc…also might be air in the system and may just need some careful re-bleeding?

Good luck.

either way I’ll check it out with a mechanic or some other pro, see what they can come up with, lol…

hmm…your probably right eh, because Mike from JDM Imports, buddy of mine test drove my car and told me that my pressure plate was soft and that some of these cars clutches tend to be easy to depress.

I don’t know, not an issue or anything, just the feel I guess, but either way I’ll still have a look around and see what others have to say about it.

mine is soft too…its just because of the holding power, upgrade it to something stronger and you’ll see.

yeah some clutches are very soft… sometimes its uncomfortably soft even, my sisters del sol is that way - i always think somethings wrong with it when i first start driving but after a while you get used to it and dont even notice.

no big deal, if it bites hard just live with it 🙂

Interesting, well at least it ain’t as bad as those  
other serious “heavy” type clutches you find in older sports cars, etc…

I can live with it, but if after market comes into play, I’d make it more  
of a stiffer feel.

Anyways though, appreciate the feedback 🙂
