my clutch is acting funny. If I let go slowly, at a certain padle position the car will shake vigorously as if I didn’t give enough gas to it, but I am already at 2000rpm! if I let go faster and get past that position, the thing engage smoothly with no problem. this is especially bad when shifting 1 to 2. everything is fine after 3rd gear. any clue on this one? thank you in advance.
The flywheel is typically to blame, its got hot spots or its warped from use. If it is new or resurfaced it could be from oil or grease on the contact surface.
2000 rpm is a pretty low rpm to be shifting at…try shifting at another grand higher or maybe even a 3500 rpm.
yeah man drop that ho at like 5000, i cant stress enough, u drive an integra not a ford probe…we feel power 3500+ no below
i switch at 5000 for the pull
3500, for regular 6300-7000 race

I don’t know if it’s neccessary to shift at 5G’s for basic/daily driving, but I think 3.5G’s would suffice…nonetheless, 2G’s is rather low to be shifting at.
KPL: You gotta remember, Hondas are high revvers, so it wouldn’t hurt to rev a little higher before shifting.
Yeh I go with the flywheel having hot spots. Also sounds like your clutch is shuddering… mine does the same thing but only at standing starts… also my thrust bearings giving noise when i drop it fast.
I don’t shift at 2000rpm during normal driving. what I was talking about is when you are in traffic and you go really slow, sometimes you just put into 2nd when the car is rolling slow, right? or, when you go over speed bumps, you can just use 2nd to keep going when you past the bump, right? at these situations you will engage at around 2000rpm. 1st gear do the same thing at standing start, but not as bad as 2nd gear. I think it’s my clutch, but don’t know which component of the clutch mechanism.
Read my post above. That is the answer to your question…
