Ok so I need some help figuring out what the hell is wrong with my clutch. First off I have a JDM 4.44 STI 5 speed w/ rear diff mounted to an 03 wrx block. When I made the switch I put in a brand new stock clutch and flywheel.

I broke the clutch in nice and easy, and don't have any problems driving the car around town at a moderate pace. The problem is that whenever I punch it WOT, as soon as I go to shift before redline the clutch feels like it sticks to the floor and will engage almost instantly or not at all. It will shift fine below 5k, but anything with a full load sucks it to the floor.

Any help is much appreciated as this sucks....also if anyone wants to go for a ride to see what I am talking about let me know.

 

Sounds to me like the clutch needs to be bled and/or adjusted. I'm in Sarasota; I'll help you if you can get here.

 

ditto, that's exactly what it sounds like to me as well

 

I'm a little too far from sarasota, but I can try and bleed the clutch and adjust it myself. I just must not have adjusted it right the first time.

Thanks for the help....and craig I am going to pm you soon to see if you can help me install my timing belt we never got around to doing.

 

Sounds like the throw out bearing to me!

Is the pedal really close to the floor when are a stop/idle???

 

^ no when i'm at idle or stop it is in normal position. it only gives me problems under wot.

 

bleed / adjust.

 

someone likes saying "throw out bearing" now.
