That answers the question. Change the clutch pump. I had the same problem... it only cost a few hundred ringgit.
Twin plate clutch doesn't require you to floor your clutch pedal to engage a gear... 50% usually is good enough to engage a gear. (when you hear some of the "cling cling" sound) you are ready to engage. However, with the 50% (half clutch) gear engagement the moment you release your clutch pedal just even slightly you will be in drive already.. so get ready your throttle before hand.
I guess you will just have to get used to the twin plate clutch... if it is so unbearable change it back to stock. If you vehicle is equipped with hi-cams... even worse for city driving... thats the price to pay for powderful car. enjoy :)
I understand how you feel. Mine is a damperless clutch and it's a bloody bitch to drive.
naik kereta full throttle terus :p..jk jk
Practice takes time to perfection :)
NNB....let me try driving your car lah. See if my big hams and quads can handle a twin plate. :)
this reminds me of when i first collected my car. i stalled 5 times trying to get out of the ex-owner's car park that has a slope. a girl who walked pass oso laughed at me...
as you are still new to your car, give it more throttle. don't worry about it being noisy first. its better for people to curse you thinking you are showing off rather than stalling and everyone laughs at you. give it a few cars length before you stat driving so you have enough room in case your car shoots forward. after awhile, you will know just how much throttle you need. happy driving and congrats on getting a great car...
NeniNeniBoBo, nope I didn't. I learned to live with it. Hahahaha
last time my r33 had a triple-plate.... soooo many damn times i stalled...
nowadays, i would simply not bother...there are nice clutches that can take big power...no need to suffer anymore.
all racing clutches i know of allows "half clutch" gear engagement. with a little practice you'd be doing great... there is no need to press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor.. (thats only for stock clutch). you can try out the 1st gear la... if you press the clutch say 50% try engage 1st gear.. slowly la.. if no crunching sound and your gear masuk edi that means ok edi lor.. if got crunching try pulak 60% clutch pedal.. you car will move as soon as you move 1mm off the clutch pedal... thats why we use racing clutches la... not for show off but for superior bite and launch.
you should try down-shifting during 4-5k rpm... a loud bang would be heard when the "evil twin plates" bite your flywheel.. this is normal though.. hehehe. how i wish there is a twin plate clutch for my junk... sigh
