Otherwise runs good right now...

so the flywheel didn't need re-surfacing? man, that clutch thing is positive news.. that you didn't wear it out that much on 132k miles
i wonder how often this happens to our fits.. i have a manual and now iam kinda scared.. i thought manuals were supposed to be basically maintenance free.

so i replaced mine close to 60k miles, my springs rattled like a tambarine hahah
new disc seems to be more kevlar, springs are more tan then orange, and the old one isnt supposed to be blue! lol but even after 60k miles the pressure plate had marks from the throw out bearing. i NEVER KEEP MY FOOT ON THE CLUTCH! the throw out bearings on our cars just have a bad seat and will tend to chew the fingers on the pressure plate. the friction disc material was still near oem thickness, i replaced all the pieces with new 2011+ fit parts, and had my flywheel lightened with a rough surface left on it. (the friction disc catches hard on it) i ran the stock clutch master cylinder for near 45k miles, i did the clutch delay valve delete using a 98 civic master cyl. (picked up for 24$) now my clutch grips, its rather hard to slip hahah
