I just re[laced my clutch with a stock regular clutch. The drives fine but the clutch pedal feels way too easy (light) than before. I bled the clutch fluid too. Is this normal? Will it tighten up with time? What could be wrong?

could just be the stock pressure plate is a little lighter feeling. if there was a major problem like it not being bled enough then you would probably have trouble with it returning all the way. i just recently replaced my clutch and it felt different (softer) than the old clutch...but it bites a hell of alot better.

Yeah, the stock clutch fels incredibly light, there's no pressure at all, it's normal, but annoying.

I put a spec stage 3 clutch in my ka24de.

for a while it felt really light compared to my old act stage 1.

But after a while, it just kinda tightened up. I didn't realize it until I was thinking about how much it sucked, then I hop in, and realize that it's much tighter that it used to be.

I say wait a while for it to break in completely, mine took about a 1k miles.

But maybe thats just how the clutch was when it was brand new, and it got stiffer over age, when you bought it.

thats just my 2cents.

Do this (http://www.zeroyon.com/index/content/view/32/47/), bleed the system well, fill with good brake fluid, and install one of these clutch lines (http://splparts.com/Parts/SilviaShared/Drivetrain/Tranny/default.asp). The clutch should feel pretty good after that. But just the loop modification works very well. And make sure you bleed it well after that. Air bubbles can be a PITA.

No you don't have to bleed the fluid after replacing the clutch.

ACT does give a slightly stiffer feel. I like a stiff clutch.

That damper box does give a mushy feel to the clutch tho. I recommend removing it for ease of a system. Less things to go wrong. Plus bleeding is way easier with it gone.
