a few questions about my clutch...

so i have an eg hatchback si (im from aus), it has a d16a8 (dohc non-vtec)

my friend has a eg hathback too (d16y1 sohc vtec) and it occured to me that my clutch is very different to his

first of all, my clutch engages almost straight away when i let go off the clutch, it engages as soon as you lift your toes up basically. does this seem normal?

another thing is that my clutch is really really stiff. is this bad? how can i change it, if i can.

just a bit curious that's it, nothing else is wrong with the clutch

hope you can help, thanks :)

I never compared the DOHC to SOHC, I only owned SOHC's. Maybe someone who had owned both can help.

with my clutch engaging that low, is it alright just the way it is? or is it a problem?
