Thank you for posting! I have an rsx and there aren’t any instructions. I went a whole week bleeding my clutch line trying to figure out why the cmc I installed is not functioning the way I know it should. In my struggles I did notice the pole and depth or the part that goes through the firewall is longer. Maybe I missed it but I wish the hybrid racing site would have instructions for the rsx stating this or at least refer us to the civic install to see the part about changing the poles. I have done this twice before with oem rsx then an oem civic cmc and it took a couple hours. This took me over a week to figure out.
So alot of videos are saying after you install hybrid cmc, to use old OEM rod, and adjust the rod to show 5 threads. But mine seems to be slipping. Also read somewhere that people kept the threads at about 2-3 only to drive good. What is the proper threads that needs to be showing?
Just got my 09 Si and i know i figured its going to need a clutch soon. i have a slight creaking from my clutch pedal. i dont know how to describe it as this is only my second manual car. but coming from bikes the engagement just feels off. should i start here?
@@hondaresource yes original push rod, clevis and locknut for the pushrod. only reason i’m asking is because i’ve watched two videos on youtube explaining how to adjust an em1 cmc in an 8th gen, both say i need about 5-6 threads showing on the cruise control switch, but when i go to try this on my car, i have disengagement issues. mine only seems to be fully disengaged at about 1-3 threads. but those video’s also explain how anything less than 5-6 threads is putting my clutch into a overstroke condition. it’s either i overstroke for proper disengagement, or crunch my synchros to eliminate the overstroke. i’m a little thrown around by the information i’m seeing, and what is reality. just need a third opinion on the adjustment.
@@MiguelGarcia-cq3il yeah.everyone saying 5-6 threads just didnt work in my case. daily driiving 5 threads were fine but banging gears/flat foot shifting it wouldnt work at all. im siiting at 3 threads, slightly longer clutch pedal travel, but it ensures your clutch is actually disengaging. at 3 threads i can bang gears and flat foot shift. try this lemme know how it works.
Hey so I have a ktuned cmc and slave I need to replace my cmc and I’m deciding to go with hybrid, my issue is that I think I will need the stock rod ? Any advice
Hey dude, did you ever end up doing that replacement? I'm in the same boat, I used the k tuned rod but I'm having some trouble getting the pedal adjusted properly
@@Pedro-gd1zw I ended up just buying another ktuned CMC, didn’t want to already spend 450 for hybrid and then have to some how find a stock CMC rod 😔 . Kind of dumb of hybrid to do that
nope. only way to fix that is to replace your old defective 3rd gear set with the new, revised 3rd gear set. Might as well get a clutch job done too. I'm having this done on my 08 FG2 as I type. FYI: it's a $4k job at AAMCO. Only reason you would buy a hybrid racing cmc is so you dont grind 2nd shifting from 1st @ 7k+ RPM. You could accomplish the same thing by removing the delay valve in your OEM cmc if you wanted.
Stock slave, yes. You may be able to reuse the stock line if you bend it a little different. The connection to the Master cylinder is at a different angle
@@hondaresource I just got mine installed too and the clutch grabs like right at the top is that okay? It's not pre loading the clutch or anything right?
@@hondaresource I know the slave is different, has different mounting tabs by the looks of it. I will be swapping my cmc soon because the pedal feel is garbage

Thanks for the video man, it really helped me out🤙
Did you get curious enough to compare the clutch rod oem vs aftermarket lengths to see if there was a difference?
The em1 rod is longer, that's why you have to install the 8th gen rod on the new cmc
Awesome vid man keep em coming, also we’ll explained thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for making this video
I hope it's helpful

I would 100%
Would I have to reuse any of the old lines to do this installation?
No. Throw all the old lines in the trash
I have a hybrid cmc. Leaking very slowly into cabin behind clutch pedal. Should I replace entire cmc/slave kit?
Just cmc
hey could you possible share how you have the clutch rod adjusted? how far in/out you have the cruise control switch and the pushrod?
Did you reuse the original push rod?
@@hondaresource yes original push rod, clevis and locknut for the pushrod. only reason i’m asking is because i’ve watched two videos on youtube explaining how to adjust an em1 cmc in an 8th gen, both say i need about 5-6 threads showing on the cruise control switch, but when i go to try this on my car, i have disengagement issues. mine only seems to be fully disengaged at about 1-3 threads. but those video’s also explain how anything less than 5-6 threads is putting my clutch into a overstroke condition. it’s either i overstroke for proper disengagement, or crunch my synchros to eliminate the overstroke. i’m a little thrown around by the information i’m seeing, and what is reality. just need a third opinion on the adjustment.
@@FG2Zim I didn't adjust the cruise control switch at all. I just adjusted the CMC rod until the pedal travel was natural
@@FG2Zim hey man 10 months later? did you end up finding the solution to your issue on how may threads worked? having same issue on my Hybrid CMC.

i have the ktuned cmc, and it failed. going to buy the oem cmc and adjust the pedal so it’ll engage better, is the hybrid one better than OEM fa5.
Hybrid is an oem em1 cmc. I would not recommend the OEM fa5 cmc for anything other than a stock fa5
@@hondaresource hmm okay i have a full k24 swap fbo making 238 🤔

You can probably use the rod from the ktuned cmc

Does this fix the notorious 3rd gear pop out that some 8th gen civics come with?
This is more of a fix for grinding going into gear or locking out from going in gear
nope. only way to fix that is to replace your old defective 3rd gear set with the new, revised 3rd gear set. Might as well get a clutch job done too. I'm having this done on my 08 FG2 as I type. FYI: it's a $4k job at AAMCO.

How long did this job took you ?
First time was a hot minute. After that, I can probably do it in under an hour
Do you think this is a doable job for someone who is relatively new at working on their own cars?
Yes for sure
Will this cmc work for right hand drive?
I'm not 100% sure but I would venture to say yes. You could probably reach out to Hybrid directly to verify.
Hybrid cmc or em2 cmc
Hybrid is em1
Nice vid bro
Can i replace the cmc and keep the stock lines and SC, or it wont work?
Stock slave, yes. You may be able to reuse the stock line if you bend it a little different. The connection to the Master cylinder is at a different angle
@@hondaresource this just save me from trying it with a soft line thanks bro 🤙🏼
What was wrong with the car?
Hard to get the car in gear because master cylinder wouldn't push fluid to disengage clutch.
Can I install it to the civic 2015 2.4?
does the clutch grab high?
Feels normal
@@hondaresource I just got mine installed too and the clutch grabs like right at the top is that okay? It's not pre loading the clutch or anything right?
@@yourtubener it's just cause ur using the rod that it came with, if you want a similar feeling to stock you gotta use the old rod for the cmc
Does this work with the R18/base model civics?
The master cylinder does. I'm not sure on the slave cylinder
@@hondaresource I know the slave is different, has different mounting tabs by the looks of it.
I will be swapping my cmc soon because the pedal feel is garbage
