hey guys i dont know if this is normal or not. Well i've got a new clutch installed 2 weeks ago its an RPS street max clutch and when i 1st got it the clutch was very stiff but after a week of driving the clutch isnt stiff anymore. I read that my clutch is suppose to be stiff but now its feel almost like oem. any help would be great!

Thanks

The clutch could have just broken in or broken in improperly. After you install a new clutch you should not shift above 3000rpm for like 5,000 miles or something along those lines.

fuck lol i might have fucked it up i was shifting at 3000-3500. If the clutch is broken improperly what happens? cause when i dropped the car off to my uncle cause i needed his van so he took my car it was still stiff when i dropped it off to him but once i got it back it was like oem.

Could always start at the simple stuff. Bleed the clutch. See if that helps. An an improper break in can hurt it, but the clutch would still be stiff, it would just slip iirc when i did mine. lol.

I almost guarantee you just need to bleed the clutch.

that's what I was thinking. Is it possible that you are getting used to it. Everyone says my ACT is super stiff but I never notice it anymore. Unless i'm jumping from one vehicle straight into my 240

once its broken in does the clutch almost have an oem feel to it? cause even when my brother drove it he said it isnt stiff anymore. i thought if u have a stiff clutch is always stays stiff. i also checked my clutch resevoir and its still full
