I really appreciate your tutorial, this is by far one of the BEST, most informative and clear steady camera video for an 8th gen clutch adjustment. Thank you!

Never understood why you unbolt the reservoir

Do u have to have freeplay on the rod or the pedal kinda 🤔 can someone help

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

Seriously? Wearing racing gloves.. 😂😂😂😂 Fake carbon 😂 is rice AF You also obviously took a red sharpie marker to your 'Si' seat inserts haha

So oem em2 cmc The release should be at 5 threads showing Nd the cmc adjustable rod is about 3-4 threads showin

Hey man, awesome video, but I was wondering when you say with the upgraded EM1 CMC does that include if you change the pushrod from the old stock CMC over to the new upgraded CMC?

Best clutch adjustment video I could find for my car thank you man 💯

I just installed a new ktuned cmc, bled the lines and adjusted it just like in the video. Now my car won’t go into gear. Any ideas?

Has anyone done this with stock rsx type s clutch and master cylinder? And if so did it work out, or should I leave it the way it is?

So if i have a sirimoto master cylinder aftermarket master cylinder would i go 5 threads in

finished flushing. bubbles finally stopped thx for the video. couple questions, first why move the reservoir unless to get jt higher? also how tf did u fit a torque wrench down there😂

Ok, I just did this. Here are my thoughts. 1) This is the best video on this topic that I found on KZbin. Accurate & concise. I appreciate it. 2) For those wondering, it takes about 1/2 bottle of 12oz Dot3 fluid to completely flush/bleed. 3) I used a brand new, sealed bottle of Honda brake fluid. 4) I bought a condiment bottle from Dollar Tree and modified it as my "catch" reservoir. 5) The 3/16" I.D. clear tubing was a great call! I bought a 10' roll from Home Depot for about $6. 6) I filled the Catch bottle about 1/2 full. It probably would be fine to fill it about 1/3, that way there's more fluid available in your new bottle. 7) My son (his car), handled the clutch pedal duties and it took probably 10 cycles before I started seeing clean fluid at the slave cylinder bleed valve. I'd say it was AT LEAST 15 cycles before I was comfortable with air being removed. 8) After that, I did 3 cycles with the socket extensions jamming the slave cylinder fork. 9) checked the fluid reservoir and called it good! 10) Honda OEM Dot 3 fluid was available on Amazon for $17. That's only a couple bucks more than at AutoZone so I decided to use Honda. EDIT: Forgot to add- I did this because I just replaced the Master Cyl. To do that, I disconnected the hard line from the flex line (under the battery tray), so I had introduced air into the system. So, "about" 6 oz is what it takes to flush & replace the Clutch Hyd. line.

This is the best video for clutch adjustment. Thank you

How were able to push the clutch down with the wedge on the slave cylinder? I was barely able to push the clutch down with the wedge.

Right..so what do I do if I have no pressure on the pedal…like it doesn’t come back

How many threads should I have showing for an 02 Rsx type s with stock everything?

Question: I have 2010 fg2 115k-kms and i adjusted it exactly how you described with number of threads and spacing, is this okay to do without putting in a brand new clutch? It has stock clutch and hasn’t been changed in a long time. So I’m wondering if I shouldn’t have done it? Thanks

thanks for the help brotha, after swapping out my cmc i tried adjusting the clutch and failed miserably, was hard to pop into gear and rear was locking me into gear. After using this information, im getting into gear clean with no problem. crazy how this little adjustment is really important.

Nice video, great detail step by step information and good video close ups, very informative. Do you know what the model # is for the Tanabe strut bar for 8 gen civic si coupe?

My pushrod on my cmc is hard to spin by hand any one knows why?

Adjusted on my FG2. Feels just like my FG1. It really changed the clutch feel for the better

I have a ktuned cmc and slave kit on my 05 type s. I've bled the clutch fluid 3x for good measure and confirmed there is no bubbles anywhere. My question is, is it normal to have more than 10-15mm of freeplay after adjusting with 6 threads showing? Since its hard to turn the cmc rod with my fingers i had to use pliers, do I just adjust it till the cruise control switch is fully pressed and flushed? Btw I do have unknown stage 1 clutch and flywheel if that helps. Thankyou!

I refer so many people to your video. I know our cars CMC gets bad attention but I'm convinced a lot of people just have their clutch adjusted incorrectly and it accounts for a lot of their chunky gear changes.

i have a new stage 2 clutch with em1 in my car, just finished installing it, should i have more or less pedal travel ?

Really good information

what if i have an em2 cmc? do i adjust it as the em1 or the stock cmc?

I have a ktuned slave and cmc kit, question is how do I know when to stop turning the rod on the master? Turning the rod with fingers is impossible so I have to use a pliers to turn it

I put the socket like done so and it popped my cmc🥲 the gasket

Does this work for an FG4 as well? Replaced my slave then my damn cmc went out right after no leaks but my clutch pedal hisses when i depress it

I noticed in the description you now advise 2 threads for EM1 cmc. I see you credited someone for this info, but how did this come about when it's been the 5 threads for so long? I can't find any other information about this.

great explanation and footage. Thanks for this <3

still one of the best videos i’ve seen out there 💯💯🔥🔥

Two questions, does this help with EX civics at low RPM?

could you tell how i might tell if i should do this or need a new clutch in general

Recently install Hybrid Racing kit for my 2007 Honda Civic Si and reuse the OEM rod and bracket to my EM1 CMC. I follow the instructions and the next day my clutch pedal starts to make clucking/ squeaking nosies. I try to grease CMC but it didn't work. I even double check my work but the same noise happens even after being adjusted multiple time. It keeps on respawning back in the morning. Noise would die down for now.

on my 95 Civic there is loose free play and then some resistance free play. do I adjust until the loose free play is gone?

Thanks! This video helped. Only problem with mine is I can't freely move the rod into cmc. Nut is stuck on it. Had to vise grip the rod then wrench the nut tight.

Years later still helping people I really appreciate it. My only issue is I'm trying to figure out how to get my engagement lower. I love my pedal feel now but it's grabbing at the top. I tried adding more threads on the stopper and then readjusting the clutch rod but it seems to still be grabbing high. trying to understand the whole dynamics of this but I can't figure out what would give me a lower engagement point.

I tried installing that carbon piece over the steering wheel cover like you did but the right side of the cover doesn’t snap in and it’s blocking the cruise control buttons.

Why did u put the tube inside the bottle half full with fluid?

Thank you for this! I originally adjusted my push rod until it was completely tight, but after watching your video, I went back in and backed it off about half a turn. Thanks for the thorough explanation and great camera angles!

@JasonMcMullen I have the ktuned em2 style cmc with an action clutch stage 5. Am I still looking at doing 5 threads showing? Also, great video. Seems to be helping out a lot of people. Keep it up.

Awesome detailed video

Anyone know if this applies to a 2014 civic si? Running an em1 cmc with the oem rod swapped over. Trans shifted perfect in the 2013 it came from. Put it in my 2014 with new hybrid racing cmc and slave and can’t get it to not grind and lock me out of 2nd now.. also installed clutch masters clutch and flywheel

what type of exhaust are you running

So I have a Exedy oem em1 cmc with swapped rods from my ep3, and Exedy oem clutch , how many threads do I want showing?

watched tons of videos of tutorials on how to do this! by far the best well explained one thank you!

Old video so no clue if I will get an answer. Have a Hybrid Racing cmc which is a em1 style with a swapped stock rod. Currently have 5 threads showing and my clutch engagement/disengagement is very top of pedal and clutch after almost 6 months is starting to slip. But I think it that it might not be fully engaging. Wondering if adjusting it to 2 threads showing if it will change where the clutch is engaging/disengaging.
