<![CDATA[civic clutch issue]]>i recently bought my 99 honda civic hatback with a b16 swap and it also has an exedy stage 2 clutch in it... but today i noticed that if crusin at 35mph in 4th gear and i give it like half or a little more gas, it just revs up from that speed but it catches fine when i shift and it only slips when its already in gear (from what i know) . The guy i bought it from said it should be fine but sumtin needs to be tuned or tightened or sumtin, So is it going out or do i need to bring it some where to get fixed?

And yes, honda autos are very heavy, but not really any worse to swap then manuals.

converting a car would have nothing to do with the clutch slippage but you obviously need a clutch pedal for a manual vehicle....and I was replying to the guy that said the pedal might need adjusting because whoever put in the pedal assembly might not have adjusted it.....and i also have a 2 post lift in my garage so it's never really been that hard to do clutches in anything

it's probably clutch slippage unless the car was an automatic to start with... usually the pedal play doesn't get tampered with much, clutches are cheap anyways

Either the clutch is shot or the clutch is shot. Theres also the possible the previous owner put it on the wrong way...
