Aftermarket Cluthes
D14 clutch is very strong and lasts for almost 200K. Some stock clutches have lasted even more verifying the reliability image of Honda. Still when the power increases significantly or you drag race your car often, you might need some more. At this topic we will present the possible options.

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
I did drag about half a dozen events, drove a bit on the track and drove 325.000kms up to today with my EJ9. Still OEM D14 clutch in there performing without a glitch!
Except for a small squicky/rattle sound of the clutch pedal itself when I press it

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
Almost everybody has it. Lubricate the clutch pedal or it might come from the clutch plate or the clutch pump. It goes away and comes back occasionally.

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
It's the throwout bearing release fork that is low on grease and squeaks on the pivoting point .Normally you should fix this Asap cause it wears out the release fork until one day you got a hole in it.Mine does it too ,but i'm going to replace the clutch anyway ...Ow yeah go to the honda dealer and get some genuine Honda urea grease to lube those points.Don't use regular grease!It will burn and makes your clutch stick.It's the same thing when a door is low on grease it starts to squeak cause it's iron rubbing on iron.

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
I am not sure we are talking about the same sound.

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
Ahh you're talking about the pedal itself ,i was thinking the sound came from the release fork.

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes

pressing the pedal when the car is cold gives a metalic sound like squeezing something...

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
Thats the one law it doesnt sound like it could be the release fork but i think its diffinatly coming from the engine bay because i can only hear it when the window is down.
