Honda Accord Type S not going into gear?
Hi there people,
I am Kay, from SW London. We own a Honda Accord Type S 2.4. We've had it for about 4 years without any problems. This is the 1st problem, car har covered 94,000 miles.
Basically all of a sudden in traffic I had problems selecting gears, plus the clutch felt 'softer'. I managed to drive home in 3rd as thats the only gear I managed to select easily. The next day I couldnt select any gear & when I did try it made the griding noise. If i turn the car off I can select gears perfectly fine apart from 5th. If i turn the car off and put it in gear with the clutch down & then start it, the car jumps forward abit?
There hast been any clutch slip at all. I inspected for any leaks in the bay but nothing. The clutch fluid looks full but very black?. I looked behind the clutch pedal & I can see a little residue of oil, looks like its coming from the master cylinder?
So far i personally think the master cylinder is shot, but not 100%. I came accross this site & thought I'd ask for help/opinions
Many thanks
PS: Completely stock car

Your Euro Accord is the Acura TSX in the US. You may want to post in that section.
Our "Accord" is a different car than yours.

I am agreeing with the above, the clutch sounds buggered. However, the black fluid worries me. I would replace the clutch master and flush out the fluid too. HTH

Mastercylinder is part of the brake system.
Your problem sounds more like a transmission problem starting with the clutch .

either the CLUTCH master cylinder or CLUTCH slave cylinder is failing and has leaked out fluid and allowed air in. the clutch itself is almost 100% likely to be perfectly fine.
