Hey guys,

My clutch is playing up, all the feel is at the bottom like 1-2cm, and the top is all squishy

It used to be feel/pressure up to about the middle

Im not sure what clutch is in it as i havent pulled it appart,

was seeing if youz might know what the problem might be?

Thanks heaps :)

haha no!

Was seeing if it was a common problem (not with the clutch plate it self)

But if it is the start of the clutch goin i can replace it

Iv never destroyed a clutch, iv got cars then placed a new clutch straight away (depending)

exedy through kudos.

personally i wouldnt bother with stuff like extreme.

I have an Extreme extra heavy duty single plate and my car is making over 300rwkw's. I have been known to do the odd 2nd gear smoke show in second gear (RWD) and plenty of 4wd launches and its still going strong and its been in the car for a couple of years.

couldnt tell u how long they last as mines not done yet lol, ive had mine for a few years now and has seen many days of drift, including a lot of 3rd gear clutch kicking.

it very rarely slips, ive had it slip on me maybe once or twice at the track, and that was after a lot of brutal 3rd gear punishment.

mines a heavy duty cushioned button, regretting i didnt go the un-cushioned one now as it doesnt quite deliver the same punch when clutch kicking, but the cushioned is much better for daily driving.

check the brake/clutch fluid level

the fluid can appear to be full when looking at it from the outside but it maybe just dried and stuck to the inside giving the appearance its full when its empty. of course if thats empty then begins the search for what is causing it to leak. possibly the clutch slave :D time will tell

if that aint the prob then try to lay off performing your sig qoute :D

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".

      appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
