Ok i just change my clutch, put in a ACT 2100 and Xact flywheel. The car idles and turns on fine but when i drive and come to a stop sometimes the RPMs drop so fast that the car stalls on me. It doesnt stall all the time, just sometimes. I noticed that the clutch master cylinder is kind of leaking but not bad at all, could this be the problem? Or could it be fix by turning the ISC? This stalling is getting annoying..i need help!! :confused:
 
Yeah is a lightweight flywheel but i dont think that's the problem, plenty of people have done that on here and had no problems. I change it on my civic also and nothing like that ever happened...and yeah i know this is not a civic.
 
Some people have problems with their car stalling because the revs drop too fast with a light weight flywheel. I don't have a problem with it though.
 
yeah i searched the forum and that's what some of the guys here said. I'm still breaking in my clutch and i drove around town for about 30 local miles and it seems to be ok now...weird shit.
 
It's a great possibility it's your master cylinder. I had the same problem on my 240 then I bought a rebuild kit for it for 10 bucks @ Advance Auto Parts and popped it out and back in with it rebuilt in less than an hour and bled the clutch. Never had the problem again.
 
I had a feeling it was the Clutch master cylinder...i guess i'll have to tackle that next week. I checked it today, put my index finger around where the seal is and it came out with a bit of brakefluid...so i guess is time.
