hey everyone... i just got a new honda accord 4cyl... and i just blew my clutch...

i havn't brought it to honda yet so i don't know what else i did... but i know the clutch is a factor...

as a person who drives.... agressivly..... what sorta clutch should i look into... and how much am i looking at spending...

 

Posting HELP!!!!!!!!! isnt going to get you anywhere.

 

well its kinda a big deal to me.... it cracked out on this hill and i was stuck with a million cars behind me..... so i need your help please... idk what to do

 

Your not on a hill right now, so chill out.

Take it to a shop, Or be more descriptive so we can further assist you.

 

alright... well i've been kinda beating the car a bit recently... and tonight in the pooring rain i was trying to get up this hill... but my tires started to spin so i stupid shifted up a gear... but no luck... then the car just stopped and started rolling backwards... but the rpms were still going and there was a horrrrible smell.... i called up my friend who's been driving MT's for years and he eventually got it moving in 5th gear 10 feet to get it out of the street...

someone has prob been in the situation before... so if u konw whats wrong... please tell... thanks

 

What year is your Accord? Does the shifter feel sloppy, how does the clutch pedal feel? Does it feel like normal, more firm, or loose? There are a good few possibilities out there...

 

2006

well when it was in neutral i couldn't shift it into any gears.... it was stuck in the middle... but then after a while..... i was able to shift it through the gears again, but you didn't need the clutch to move it...

the only way we got it moving was in 5th gear... and that took a looong time to get it rolling

 

Sounds like you fried the clutch & possibly broke the fork & shattered the thow-out bearing... thats what happened to me. Your not going to know untill you take it to a tranny shop.

 

hmmm alright

how much do u think it will cost to repair

 

an arm & a leg

 

2006 accord? How bout you take it to a dealer and get it done under warranty? Or would that be considered abuse and not covered by the warranty?

 

it's abuse... GL w/ it!

Your so helpfull.

If its under warrantee, take it to the dealership... you havent done anything wrong, just drove the car.. hard or soft... its supposed to take it.

 

get a organic disc and heavy duty pressure plate and cut down on the abuse.

 

lets see here, just got a new car and toasted the clutch by driving aggressively? SUCKS TO BE YOU. Honda manuals are very reliable and so are their clutches. Expect to pay about $1200 to fix it if you do not do it yourself....dealer is going to KNOW it was abuse when they physically inspect it and will DENY warranty service......

I know this is way off topic, but your user name, wtf is it, or does it mean...? How do you say it...? Been buggin the crap out of me for months.

 

In thailand, we should go to the dealer who sold the car and claim them about this problem (depend on your guarantee)

its vietnamese. it looks like "i love you" but im pretty sure thats not it

 

to all those who helped me... thanks

i just got the call from honda....

and the verdict issss:
- burnt clutch
- scortched flywheel
- balding tires

totaling: $2200

 

ha, told ya so, Intense 2.2L...

no way in honda heaven are they going to let him slide w/ abuse... + isn't the clutch a wear item like brake pads? now, if it was something w/in the tranny case that blew up, then it would be covered by the warranty.

thanx for the update, skater...

 

exedy stage 1 or 2

 

if you capable. do the job yourslelf. you'll probably only end up spending about $1000(depending on which brand parts/tires you go with) and maybe about 1-3 days of work depending how experianced and how many hours you work on it a day

 

when my 94 went out, i got oem. if you're not going to upgrade to massive amounts of horsepower, then i wouldnt upgrade. but that's my opinion.

how did you burn up a 1 year old clutch that bad?
