heavy clutch

[name123]

I just recently installed an Injen CAI on my CR-Z, after putting everything back on. The Clutch feels heavier or stiffer, i would have to push down hard but doesn't feel like it is pushed in all the way, but it drives fine such as putting in to gear and putting it back to Neutral. I don't know if any one experienced this before. Or if someone can shed some light on this. Thanks

Did you use a floor jack to raise the front when you installed the Injen? Because I just did my first oil change, where I mistakenly seated my floor jack below a prominent bulge in the undertray which looked more like the jackpoint than the true jack point located about 8" further back (aft the drive-axle), a less prominent bulge on the sub-frame. I realised my error when I removed the untray to change my oil; I'd actually raised the car at the torque rod bracket connection to the transmission housing, no apparent damage, but my shifter feels a bit notchy since the incident. The front jack point on the sub-frame is extrodinarily far back, and the low clearance doesn't help to properly identify it, honda did not help when it molded the undertray abruptly to exactly accomodate the torsion rod's shape.

i recall somebody saying that their AEM CAI rubs against the clutch line a little bit, I don't know if that's the same for your Injen.

Might want to check that out.
