that doesnt sound normal. you should have some play in the clutch. i would take it to the dealer and ask them how long it would take to fix. some dealers will actually give you a loaner car while they are fixin your car if its still under waranty. but the only way to find out how long the repair would take is to talk to the people who will fix it.

good luck and i hope it all works out for you

just have the dealer replace the clutch, i dont see them having it for more than 2 days if they get right into it.

Sounds like it's fried. Just get it replaced. Did you learn to drive stick on this car. and Riceburner you have alot of miles on your civic!

That sounds like a reason not to part with her. Your rebuilding her though right?

well ive got 33,000 miles on it, and i didnt learn to drive a stick in it...but the manufacturer said the only way they'd replace it is if it was a factory defect on the clutch....but it still grabs super hard, just when the peddle is all the way out almost...still wil spin the tires, and bark 2nd gear...maybe im just being paranoid and never noticed it before, thanks for the help tho guys<3
