Hello ClubCivic, It's been a while since I've started a thread myself. I bought a 1991 Civic Wagon a couple of months ago with a brand new clutch in it. The clutch felt fairly stiff for a daily driver (last owner said it was a stage 2), and then all of the sudden in a couple of days it got softer and softer, until it felt like stock. A couple of days later I noticed it kept on engaging closer and closer to the ground (barely lifting my foot), to the point where reverse would grind and it was hard to get into any gear.
I went ahead and adjusted the clutch, and got it to a better place. After a couple of days of driving, the clutch starts to feel stiffer and it starts to engage closer and closer to the ground until again it's hard to get into gear and reverse grinds. I keep on adjusting it and it keeps on getting unadjusted. I adjust it about once a week or so.
Does anyone have any idea what could it be?
I keep thinking maybe the clutch doesn't have enough play in it (the lever arm), or maybe my cable is stretched?
Thanks in advance.
