acumenhokie Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So it looks like I'm going to finally get around to doing this. I figured I would do the clutch fluid at the same time. Â Anyone using or object to using Motul RBF600? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Same here. i don't even know how long I've had the delete sitting on my coffee table, but it hasn't exactly been warm many days since December here. its gonna be a solid 30 here on sunday so maybe I'll bust it out during the "heat wave" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I just used Castrol Dot4. A high performance hydraulic fluid isn't necessarily needed for the clutch because you don't have to worry about fade, heat or threshold performance like you do with brakes.

It would be much worse to be married to a woman that doesn't know (or worse yet, refuses to learn). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripstik Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 My Gf wants to learn how to drive my car and i must say I'm a bit nervous about it. with the clutch damper i feel this car is difficult to have nice shifts and I've ALWAYS driven a stick. for someone who's never driven stick before MAYBE the damper will actually help out. but i can see my face cringing as she grinds gears and her crying after i finally lose it and drive us home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how little she knows about a manual transmission: I explained that grinding the gears could wear out the clutch earlier than expected. She was surprised that the clutch could be worn out at all... Luckily she got pregnant and I wasn't comfortable with having the baby tossed around like he was on a mechanical bull... but I have only delayed the inevitable. I'll start researching a solid DD clutch soon:lol: My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'll start researching a solid DD clutch soon:lol: speaking of researching clutches, mine is starting to be bit stinky. idk if its because of all the ridiculously cold weather we've been having but i have a sneaking suspicion that my aggressive driving style coupled with a clutch that is lagging behind my foot is starting to take its toll on the clutch. it doesn't slip while in gear at all. but after crawling up a 4 mile extremely steep access road that is bolton valley behind a line of traffic i was not happy with the smell when i stepped out of the car.

GTEASER Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I smoked the clutch in my '95 Saturn SL2 with 4 adults in the car waiting in traffic going UP Lombard Street, waiting to go DOWN Lombard Street (world's crookedest street) in SF back in 1998. When I say smoked, I mean billowing out from under the car. That was at 40k miles. It lasted until 110k miles and I was not easy on that car.

FLlegacy Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 At the end of the day it's just a car and any missteps while teaching your significant other to drive are just good solid justifications for upgrades. My wife did pretty good when she took my car out the first time and since she was learning and was on and off the clutch a lot the damper was very noticeable. I highly recommend the delete so the feel is consistent. Makes learning much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
