My brother has a 83 rx-7 5 speed that i am thinkin about buyin off of him to fix up. The car has alot of problems but i am a motorhead and like a challange. The only thing that would stop me from gettin it is the fact that the clutch is very touchy,anyway i was wondering is this a problem or is this normal and if it is normal can i get an aftermarket clutch that i can floor and pop

touchy like you need to rev high b4 engaging? or like it get's 1mm off the

floor and it's fully engaged?

like you need to rev high b4 engaging

curious-1 03-09-2003 02:30 AM

and even then you have to let it out painfully slow

Sounds like a dying clutch.I wouldn't worry about a aftermarket one for awhile till the mods get the power way up there.Just replace it with a OEM one.I was going to go with a Racing Beat Street/Strip setup but mine is stock port so I won't waste the money on a better clutch.If I give it a huge street port then I'll upgrade it later on.My clutch engages just a bit above the halfway point on the pedal.It has new everything tho.

After mine is broken in then I want to try some 4000rpm jumps off it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png then do some serious drifting. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Good Morning All;

When I re-did the whole Do-Wa-Did-Dee, I Installed the Clutchmaster setup $143.00us and I got to tell ya's for the Money this is a well preforming Clutch.

You get the Disk,Presure Plate,Throwout Bearing, Pilot Bearing and Alignment Tool. The only thing you have to Purchase is the Pilot Bearing Seal ($1.98).

Best Bang For The Buck!!!
