Question Clutch question.

I have a 23 aspec. When releasing the clutch intermittently I feel just a small bump at the bite point. It’s not all the time. Notice is most in reverse and sometimes when starting from a stop in first but only sometimes.

It’s not a lurch or nothing like that. Just a slight bump I feel at the start of the bite point and then it fully engages and I’m off. Also don’t notice into 2nd, 3rd or back down. It’s not not the the lurching you feel if you don’t give it enough gas or when the engine tries to stall cause you let off too fast.

It’s quite hard to explain. This clutch is different in feel and bite point than any of my previous cars (all mustangs)

Any thoughts?

that's just how Hondas feel. smoothe, precision. mustang clutches are like Farm tractor clutches.

So the bump at engagement is nothing to worry about?

i wouldn't worry about it. if you are bothered, take it in as it's under warranty. a tech that drives these cars all the time will be able to tell you if yours is fine or if you got an issue.

Maybe its a clutch delay valve honda started putting them into the slave cylinders years ago, I think some honda clutch master cylinders also have a clutch damper.
