Something moving and going wrong in traffic makes me thinking inside the housing (throw out bearing, pressure plate or disc). I am very aware how "fun" taking a trans out can be (well....the fun part is feeling like a monkey f@cking a football when you try to install the trans) But I think a removal is necessary. And I am with eg6sir.......new clutch! Save your pennies and make it happen!
Park it - fix it right. Can't you drive the $400 junker a while and do the new one justice?Looking like you're going to have to do an "End to End" on this phuker sooner than anticipated. When done, you'll have a nice ride.
Now you have to manage the 3 and maintain a DD in the process.

I don't have anything to drive. Both cars have sold.
I will start saving for a new clutch but I have over $500 in tickets and driver fees to pay by the end of the month, plus I'm facing losing my licence once again. So now I'm finding work closer to home so I can bike.
I'm probably going with the stage 1 Exedy racing clutch which will land under the $300 mark. Then I'll just get the stock flywheel resurfaced (if its not bad).
I got the axles swapped and the trans flushed and filled with Royal Purple. Synthetic DID make an improvement in shifting.
My baby got her first polish + wax. I did a headlight buff by hand too. The fade is gone but I need to go over it again with a buffer to get the swirls out.

The Exedy is a clutch set? Meaning pressure plate too?
Traffic tickets are a NASTY waste of money. Sorry to hear that. I've been plagued by them myself over the years. Got my first one at 13 yrs old for riding a mini-bike on the street with some school buddies.
One dude had a Lil Indian rolling frame, I had a 9 tooth 5/8" bore sprocket, 9" piece of aluminum straight pipe threaded at one end and a #35 chain. We'd go to another buddies house after school and pull the 3hp Briggs & Stratton engine off of his lawnmower. Bolt it up on the MB frame, pull muffler and install straight pipe, pull the governor and off we went.......right to juvenile traffic court when the cops got there.
You can get the stock flywheel lightened a bit and balanced also. Had the one on the ZC turned down to #12 and it still shifts real nice.
You must be going nuts to drive your new car - and all this complicated crap.
Looks nice washed and waxed with the new tires.

The rims remind me of when guys were rolling around with one windshield wiper in the center all cocked, lots of stickers and a 5in exhaust tip......straight up 1995 yo!
Yellow Neuspeed sticker across the windshield and you take me back to my teens!
Hell, if you like them.....Rock 'em then.
I like the OEM look.....all day, every day. Or, if you can afford it, nice Japanese wheels that hold their value better than the average Rota, Drag, etc. Not to say I wouldn't rock other wheels.....just hard to beat the OEM look. Some clean fat fives or meshies, 99/00 Si (<--debatable) look nice on any Honda.......yo.
There use to be these wheels that I've wanted since the mid 90's. But I believe they are discontinued.
SSR Shumacher Wheels......16X7 (+32-37 offset) those are my dream wheels.
