We'd need more detail on the "wheel hop."

Does it only occur in first gear? Does it only occur below a certain speed? Does it only occur when traveling straight-ahead / cornering / both?

Which wheels are affected - only one axle or both axles?

Does it occur only during acceleration or under constant speed as well? Does it occur continuously while these conditions exist or only for a moment - even if the conditions remain unchanged (i.e. same gear, same load, same speed, same steering input)?

The chances of you having "Wheel Hop" are next to zero. Search for "clutch judder" and see if that more accurately describes your issue.

sorry for the late response but yes i replaced the clutch because of this, thought it may have fixed the problem but didnt its a stage 4 clutch with a 12ilb flywheel. Dont know exactly which wheel or wheels are having the problem, it does it only when acceleration when dragging the clutch a bit also in 2nd gear the car will do it when dragging the clutch a little bit. but it has had the issues before installing all the items ive put on.

There's your problem right there.

from Vitek:

Stage 4 - .... It is not designed for your daily driver car. .... you will probably experience moderate chatter. ... it is either engaged or disengaged with no ability to ease into the clutch. Its optimum use is designed for rally racing.

It's not a "wheel or wheels". 02's are known to have clutch judder or chatter on the stock parts, just slip the clutch and let it warm up a bit and it'll be fine. By putting on some monster racerboi clutch you just made it worse. At this point you should just quit throwing parts at it and learn to live with it or go back to stockish.

but it was doing the samething with the factory clutch that was in there before... but i guess i see what yall are talking about i guess the 6 puck is to grippy for it what your saying. yea its not that bad when i dont push on the gas when disengaging the clutch, its just sucks because theres not much room for it so i die out every now and then. thanks for the input yall.
