I have a 2000 Protege ES (1.8 L) and I replaced the clutch recently. Now the clutch does not have very much resistance and I have checked to see if there are any leaks. There are no leaks and there is enough fluid. If anyone has run into this please let me know what the issue is.

Thanks,
Whitney

did you do a complete clutch kit or just the clutch brake? if you just did the brake, it may be the pressure plate or throwout bearing. another thing is, it could just be how the clutch is supposed to feel. i usually never realize what is wrong with my car until i drive someone elses or fix mine. i didn't realize how bad my headlights had gotten until i had borrowed a car and actually saw the road in front of me.

I did a complete clutch kit-pressure plate, clutch brake and throwout bearing. A friend of mine said they had this happen on a Ford and took it back to the repair shop. The shop said they made a mistake and fixed it. I have driven another person car and it is not the same.
