ok, so after work today, i went through the drive through at mcd's and as i was next to the building, i pushed the clutch pedal to put the car into gear. as i pushed the pedal, i heard a loud creak coming from outside of the passenger compartment. now it always creaks when you push the pedal whether the engine is running or not. i guess i noticed it because i was close to the building which made it appear to be louder. i know it's not the cmc pushrod making the noise either, i have certainly heard that before in my ep3. what really chaps my butt about the whole thing is the fact that my clutch was replaced under warrranty less than a year ago. i'm still under warranty, however, as i have 46000 miles (bought extended warranty through Honda) but this seems silly. i have owned several cars with manual trannies, and only this one eats a clutch every year. i really dont beat on my car, an occasional spirited drive, but no racing or drag racing ever. also, i really dont want to take the car back to the dealer for the work as they did a crappy job last time. lost several bolts, broke my hood prop clip, and put the cradle in cockeyed, throwing the alignment out of whack. i really dont want to have to deal with this again, but it seems to be my only choice, as i really dont care to put an aftermarket clutch in my lowly k20a3, nor can i afford to. can i take it to a different dealer for the work, or do i have to got to the dealer in which i purchased my vehicle?

 

if its under warranty, and you got extended wararnty, it should be nationwide coverage at any honda dealership with proof. call the make sure

 

you should call honda usa, tyr to find out who your regional rep is and contact him or her.
