Why my clutch catches differently?

[Michael Flare]

I have a 6 puck Stage 3 clutch in my car. It's a beautiful clutch in amazing condition! I love it so much. What questions me is that when I drive ALMOST ALL THE TIME, the clutch catches about 50% of the pedal being released off the floor. This is what I consider NORMAL for my car's clutch. But a few times [often once every time I take the car out for a drive] at a stop light, I would engage the clutch again like I usually would but the clutch catches really really early like 20% of the pedal being released when the pedal is still really close to the floor. Don't get me wrong, but I love it when this happens because I get a feeling that the clutch is getting a super strong engagement with the flywheel. This happens at least once every time I drive my car. Why does this happen when what does it mean? Thank you.

Ur low on clutch fluid.

or ur Clutch slave cylinder needs re bleeding.

From the sounds of it the pedal will soon stick to the floor and u will have no way of engaging gears while driving, been there not nice.

Check ur fluid level. If its full, re-bleed the system anyways and go from there.

Hey. My clutch fluid is perfect level. So I can't be short on clutch fluid. Also, there is absolutely no leaks in the clutch line anywhere, and I don't lose clutch fluid at all. I bled the clutch fluid twice but both of them were different methods. Can you tell me exactly what is the proper way of bleeding the clutch? I want to make sure if I'm doing it correctly. THanks

Your Clutch plate is sticking, maybe your getting it too hot and then when your off the pedal for long perios of time the plate has time to stick. Maybe also your release bearing is slightly seized and thats holding it up.

I brought a Accord last year, and the clutch engaged almost straight away as you lifted the pedal, turned out to be the pressure plate on the clutch disc had stuck to each other. So the movement i was feeling on the pedal was actually just the springs on the pressure plate.

Does your pedal feel slightly stiff? if left your car may drive fine, and you'll get used to it, but what i found is that when your giving it some beans, sometimes you could feel the syncs catch, this will eventually kill the transmission.

I could be wrong, but thats what i found out, after replacing fluid, Master cylinder and Tranny oil.
