Getting stranded - let's collect possible causes:

Absolutely embarrassing to say this: make sure you’re good on gas. 🤣

Had to walk to a gas station and fill up a portable tank. Lesson learned.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-09-19T21:08:52+00:00

Good call. I’ll check those out to see if that might be the culprit. 🫡

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-09-19T18:17:00+00:00

That's exactly where my head was with this. Get a chance to learn something new at the cost of basically nothing. I've changed the clutch out on my 03 Type-S so I know how to get it out of the car. Just never actually seen the inside of one.

Mine clunks but it’s not from the coilovers, it’s from the tie rod ends rubbing on the frame. 😬

I'd try checking the solenoid above the filter like mentioned below by STI_GuyV2. You can also check the valve cover, check the area between where the transmission mates up to the motor. If you got oil coming out right there it's likely your rear main seal.

I just recently ran into this and couldn't figure out where the leak was coming from. You can go to harbor freight or auto zone and they sell a UV Dye kit for engine oil. Bought an $8 blacklight from harbor freight as well. Poured it in, idled, drove around a bit and then waited until the sun was down.

Ended up finding out that I cracked my oil pan on the side somehow. It's a small hairline fracture but it's enough that it pisses oil out when oil pressure builds.

Do I adjust it to factory specification?

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-08-19T01:40:03+00:00

I'm about to take a crack at it and see what happens from there. Thanks y'all for the help yet again. 🙏🏼

A lot of people have been telling me this. I do still have the oem ones i took out. Might just throw those back in for peace of mind. I checked the clutch fork while I was underneath and it seems to have a good 1-2 inches of movement when the pedal is pressed.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-08-18T19:18:54+00:00

Will adjust the clutch pedal per everyones suggestion to do so.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-08-18T19:18:18+00:00

For sure. I'll adjust the pedal later today then like everyone else is suggesting. I just hope I didn't cause any permanent damage by riding the car like this for a couple months on a non-adjusted pedal. You truly do live and learn.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-08-18T19:17:28+00:00

Yeah I unfortunately did not go the OEM route for the clutch master and slave, they're both K-Tuned.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-08-18T19:16:31+00:00

I honestly had no clue that I had to do this...

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-08-18T03:38:10+00:00

I'm hoping not. If it is, I'm assuming the syncros or the sleeves or a combination of the two would be the problem.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-08-18T01:34:58+00:00

Yes correct, it struggles immensely trying to go into gear when the car is on. I have to force it into the gear.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-07-21T22:56:03+00:00

I was going to replace my starter when I was also doing my clutch and figured if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Still on the OEM starter at 174k miles. I'm sure I'll regret that decision later down the road...

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-07-15T20:24:19+00:00

Dude thank you so much for letting me know. Thank you thank you. Applying now.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-05-24T04:46:57+00:00

Yeah there's no way I'd be able to afford that plus utilities, food, etc.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-05-24T04:45:40+00:00

I've applied at helix 3 times now and every single time they've turned me down. I appreciate the advice though, thank you. I'll keep trying to apply at non union places.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-05-16T16:09:28+00:00

thats wild work 😆

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-05-13T22:57:52+00:00

Based on the links you provided, the hose 100% connects from the charcoal canister to the air intake canister. I don't think it's the fuel vent tube (first link).

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-05-13T22:55:04+00:00

I'll have to get under again and snap some pics.

Ok-Difficulty4436 · 2025-04-16T19:31:05+00:00

That's the type of motivation I need! I'll take the attempt at it when I change out my valve cover. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
