ok, I just put a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and a pilot bearing in my 2000 civic.
I streamed Eric the car guy’s video while I did the job. Everything seemed like it was a perfect install.
Everything is back together now.
I start it up and when I release the clutch it makes a clicking sound. When I push in the pedal it goes away.
Also, I noticed that the clutch pedal travel is about half than what it was before.
Its a hydraulic clutch line so maybe I need to bleed it? I just took it off of the transfer case housing and I did not unplug it so the system should fine right? because I never disconnected the metal tubings.
Any ideas ?
Thanks!!!

It sounds to me like a bolt is loose on the flywheel. If it sounds like a diesel engine especially. The vibration sent through the flywheel will do this. If you installed a lightweight flywheel, this is actually normal. One of the down sides to them. Another would be a lose bolt on the pressure plate. Follow the specified toque specs and make sure you torque in the proper sequence to ensure even pressure on the components be it the flywheel or the pressure plate.
As for the hydraulic line, you don’t need to bleed it if you didn’t open the system.
As for the pedal travel, it could be normal depending on the condition of the old clutch to the new one or it could be whatever is loose on the transaxle. Check to make sure you didn’t get a lightweight flywheel by accident or if it was on purpose, it’s normal. Remember to break in your new components to avoid glazing and good luck
