Hey guys just wanted to know if everyone here iwth a AP2 if your clutch feels really light as i drove a AP1 and it felt hard... ap1 owners please fill in..

 

YES. ap2 clutches are alot softer than the ap1 clutch.

 

actually its due to the clutch delay valve in the slave cylinder. it makes it feel lighter and actually makes it slip a little bit so it will protect the differential. you can take it out in a matter of minutes, most ap2 owners do it.

 

i noticed that the other day. the clutch in the ap2 i drove seemed to have a lot less of a mechanical feel, almost like pressing a button rather than a mechanical pedal. like a video game clutch kind of...

 

As far as I know, it is not even just AP2's, but also the later AP1's feel the same. I have an 2000 AP1 and my friend has the 2002 AP1. Between driving his and mine, here's what I've noticed and he agrees. My clutch feels like a clutch, his feels like a gas pedal or something, not much resistance or pressure required to press, and as a result, a little harder to find where the contact point is. All in all, the MY '00 to MY '01 had the heaviest clutch, sways, springs and engine/transmission noise...it feels like a sports car. '02 and up, it is watered down, sometimes feels like driving a civic unless you really rev it.

 

I like lighter clutches.

 

AP2's definitely have flimsy (not in a good way) clutches. IMO!
