Has anyone UPGRADED to a better type of clutch for a 2nd gen shark? Something alittle more "beefey" and hard to push..so i can slam it....I want a tight clutch..mine seems "loose" and after racing kinda hard...it feels that once i shift into say second...it acts like the clutch is still pressed in..like it doesnt let go..just for a split second...iu wanna saythat it is heating up....or something..but i have no idea. It's fine for everyday driving..but if i race hard...speed shifting/slamming..is feels "mushy"..ya know what I mean..?

 

Sounds like you have air/contaminents in your hydraulic clutch.

Bleed the system till the fluid coming out is clear. The Cluch fluid container is really small, don't run it dry. Also. there will be a "build up" of crap on the bottom of the fuild contaner. Make sure you flush that out too!

See if that quick fix solves your problem before investing $300 to $600 in a new clutch.

 

Where do I drain it? Is that what that little liquid holder is for on my driver side...right by where my Front Strut bar should be..right now. I noticed that I have this and BigRED (Auto.hehe) doen't. Please advise...(any help url's for this task?)

 

The bleeder is right on top of the manual tranny. It has a rubber nipple over it.

If you know how to bleed brakes, you know how to bleed a cluch. Same principle.

I'll have to dig up my brake bleeding FAQ document and edit it a tad for Clutches.

 

I got the Brass button Clutch from HVE.Its takes a little getting use too but it grips as its ready for take off

 

Would that 1st gen. shark clutch work for mine? I have a 2k shark....How much was it..and install??? Self install?

 

Chris H has a great clutch Install FAQ over at Fxtreme. It is not for the feint of heart though.
