- A Short Review and Drive of my 9th Gen civic Si FX400 Clutch
Thanks for the great Customer Service Clutch Masters. hopefully more good Content to come in the Future. Thanks to all for Checking this out.
Where dose your clutch engage at ? I’m curious cause I just installed the kid and mine is almost at the top and some clutches call for a readjustment after break in?
My engagement is near the floor, pretty short engagement range but I just got used to driving it that way.
Where’s your engagement point? Mine is at the very bottom ( like I move my foot a inch and it’s already engaging hard)? Asking bc idk if it’s normal or not (fx500)
Towards the bottom on mine, but it can be adjusted if you thread out the push rod on the master.
i like it that way i must be weird
Wondering if it’s a dual clutch assembly? So many great parts for Honda’s 🔥👍
It’s a single disk 6-puck. they do offer a twin disk, but it’s for racing only, too aggressive for street use
🙌🏼
i appreciate the Love yall
constructive criticism musics too loud for u talking over it
you might have adhd lol
What are some of the symptoms of a bad clutch for these 9 gens I have my fg4 at 150k miles so far only cmc replaced w hybrid
Clutch slip, if you can’t launch it hard and spin the wheels with TC off, then it’s probably time for a new one. My clutch still had some life at 110k but it had been driven hard. I really only needed to do the throw out bearing but I thought that would be pointless not to put a new clutch in.
@@JustPhilTv21 yea man from take off I struggle to pick
Up speed and If i downshift I don’t go anywhere but my rpm’s don’t fly up either like if it was to be slipping
Well it may not slip, but the clamp force isn’t strong no either on the stock clutch tbh. Mine wouldn’t slip per say but it didn’t lock up the lsd like it should have either. Now I can clutch kick and spin through second on completely stock power.
@@JustPhilTv21 you recommend this clutch on mild to stock bolt ons ?
Why choose this over fx300? I was looking at the fx300. I have an all motor 9th gen si with a z3 head 285 whp.
Well simply because I wanted a beefy clutch in case I ever boosted it and there wasn’t much of a price difference at the time.
@@JustPhilTv21 gotcha! Thanks for the reply!
How would you rate this clutch now that you’ve had some time with it? I’m looking to purchase my kit tonight. But stock in between the 300 and 400.
It performs exactly as designed. Granted the 400 is a bit aggressive for a daily especially combined with the solid lower engine mount, but after you get used to it, it makes the car really fun to drive, even on stock power. My recommendation would be the 300 unless you plan on boosting the car.
@@JustPhilTv21 yeah i do have the lower hasport mount. Is your car a daily? Just to give you a better understanding of my intentions and application. I pretty much daily it. I track it maybe once a month. Very light abuse. Semi slicks. I might boost in future but will stay na for maybe another yr through 2023. You think I can still have fun with the 300 the way I would a 400?
@@JustPhilTv21Do you need the engine mounts ?
I would recommend it, but it isn’t necessary
Shifter Cables and Hybrid or Acuity Shifter next ??
Probably acuity short throw next. but the next thing I put on will be lowering springs and sport shocks.
@@JustPhilTv21 true I put some D2 coil overs on and lovin I wanna upgrade my clutch that's why I'm here ahaha when I upgrade clutch tho I wanna upgrade cmc
And slave , hybrid racing shifter and cables then hopefully she'll be perfect
i have a competition clutch stage 2 on my 2015 bypass flashbro but for some reason its shudders and vibrates when im engaging and when im shifting normal they feel like they going in hard what can i have going on wrong
Did you replace the throw out bearing ? Also you may need to adjust your slave cylinder. I don’t know how it behaves with a stock slave because I deleted the plastic diaphragm inside of mine, or might I suggest getting an aftermarket one along with a master
@@JustPhilTv21 i have a hybrid racing cmc kit installed but it still does all these shudder and scratchy noises i did replace the throwout bearing with a oem one but still no luck
your stage 4 clutch is it smooth engagment no vibration or anything ? and also when your shifting gears and going in and letting off the clutch do you feel the gear that goes hard or smooth ?
i have heard that putting in a stage 4 it does damage to your tranny idk if its true or false but hows yours been holding up everything smooth nothing weird ?
Then my next guess would be your clutch slave needs to be extended out on the pedal to raise your engagement or your clutch is out of alignment. Or a bent clutch fork
Hello I just installed the same clutch on my 9th gen. Does your car shudders when launching? Mine does and it shakes a lot
It doesn’t, but it’s probably because I also swapped the lower motor mount
I forgot to also mention I have a modified stock slave
@@JustPhilTv21 did you replace the slave?
No I used my original, I just removed the plastic delay valve inside of it that keeps you from being able to shift quickly or do clutch dumps
@@JustPhilTv21 mine is vibrating a lot when letting of the clutch
You have hondata
No I used a factory weight flywheel
Whats the part number for this kit bro? Did you get it with the steel flywheel?
