Testing clutch drag

[Vyse]

Hi guys,

I am trying to figure out if my clutch is dragging. Ive bleed the clutch system quite a few times. Even when the car is warmed up the gears still feel notchy, not all the time but sometimes. Whats strange is that its can feel notchy changing out of gears also.

Does anyone have a proper test for seeing if I have clutch drag?

Thanks

After trying the tests in this thread, I assume my clutch is ok.

I did a 3 point turn, started in 1st gear, braked then went straight into reverse and it felt smooth.

Thats been changed also. Must have changed it 3 times in 2 years, trying different brands. It has the oem stuff inside again.

Its a Honda Civic.

Thing with my Type R is that it is low mileage and am the 4th owner. Am wondering if the previous owners drove it like they stole it.

Is your box smooth first thing in the morning, am talking about the first 5 mins? No notchy feeling at all?

They do if you continue to drive it hard with a worn clutch which causes drag. Mine has 130k on it and the gearbox is perfect.
