Clutch problems?

Wolfenstein · 11-25-2007, 07:02 PM

Hi guys,
I've just bought me a 05 S2k an I love it!! Had it for a week now
But...
When changing from 1st to 2nd and letting the clutch out real quick it seems like the clutch is sagging behind... The 2nd gear doesn't "slam" in.. And the revs are behaving just like if I let the clutch out slowly... Any suggestions? Is the clutch starting to wear?

Thanks!

I have never heard of a clutch delay valve, can you explain this a little more in depth?

It is a system the keeps the clutch from grabbing to quickly. It is meant to take some of the shock off of the rear and trans.

The man knows of what he speaks. It is a step Honda took to help save the diff. Theoretically, you will not be able to do any high rev clutch dumps.
