Hey guys I was wondering if you guys could help me.

I have a 2004 S2000 with 49,000 Miles. Yesterday I was driving to the store and everything was fine as usual. Then leaving the store my clutch felt heavy in some parts of pushing it down. Because of that, while shifting gears it would rev as i drive. Exactly like how it would be if I was "Riding the clutch"

In the past few weeks I started to feel my clutch get stiffer and stiffer but didn't think anything of it... smh


Do I need to replace the whole clutch?
Bleed the clutch?

Any feedback would be great and appreciated. Thanks guys!

 

I would check the clutch fluid and go from there.
When was the last time you changed the clutch fluid?

 

Yeah I checked the clutch fluid and its still full. I read some other posts on here and they said you can get bubbles in your clutch fluid? But for some reason I really don't think it has to do with anything with the fluid at all. But I could be wrong. Thanks bro

 

try new fluid and bleed it. also at the same time try regreasing your slave fork on the side of the transmission with some new high temp grease. check out the diy section search for more info.

 

I had these same symptoms and for me it was the throwout bearing was not properly greased and was seizing on the release bearing guide. Replaced the release bearing guide and release bearing and properly greased release bearing this time (fill the "valley" on inside diameter of the release bearing) with none other than the super high temp urea grease and it works as it should. Also make sure the spline is properly greased as well, so the clutch disk won't hang, it should move freely on the spline.
