Hey

I had a problem where my car started to get hard to shift like the clutch wasn't fully disengaging when I pushed it in. Found my Master/Slave cylinders to be leaking so I replaced them and bled the system.

The car drove fine for most of today and then started to get impossible to shift and I had to start it in gear to get going ***BUT*** the engagement point NEVER changed. It was always right where it should of been even though it would be rolling when I started it in gear it wouldn't start to engage the clutch til half way up. Then suddenly it went back to shifting perfectly fine!!!

I am lost to what it could be. Maybe a sticky Throw Out Bearing??? I am trying to avoid dropping the transmission because of the cold weather and I am sick of working on the car haha. But if you guys have any ideas suggestions before I do that I would be GREATLY appreciative. Thanks in advance!

 

dude I basically have the same exact problem at the moment. tho I am locked out of my gears. I just replaced the slave and now i am replacing the master. I am hoping it fixes the problem but it sucks man! i have been pulling my hair out over this one

 

damn i havent been on honda-tech in a while, but damn are those new smileys gay

 

Yeah expletive you too. Go find some other place to be a dick at. Don't need that **** in this thread. Anyway good look hookedonponics. Let me know how it goes! Anyone else have any ideas?

 

have you guys checked out your tranny fluild? I was having problem going into gear and switch it out with penzoil synchromesh... reduce/eliminate the problem and decrease my tranny grind in 3rd

 

i adjusted my clutch pedal on mine today ( i sort of had the same problem) and it helped me a little. since you got a completely new mc and sc i would think that you should adjust it. youll need a 12mm a 14mm and something to pull out the pin on the clutch pedal. gl

 

I am running Honda Transmission fluid and the level is fine. And the clutch doesn't need to be adjusted. It engages right where it needs to be engaging. About half way through the travel it starts to engage and by 75 percent of the way up it is done and the last 25 percent is the recommended freeplay. Thanks for the suggestions though! Keep them coming.

Bump guys. Shifted fine this morning then got bad again.

 

Hey man. I did the same thing you did when I started having problems with my clutch.
I replaced the clutch master cyl. and slave cyl., bled the system, to no avail...

How old is your clutch?
I had a very similar problem When my clutch went out on me...
It looked pretty terrible when I took it apart... Wish I would have taken some pics!
The clutch was in pieces and one of the clutch springs had broken loose, so it was
just floating around in there! The flywheel was toast... just covered in hot spots...

If your clutch is old, you might start pricing a new clutch/pressure plate/ flywheel combo.
I went ahead and bought an ACT combo pack for my hatch and I love it!
I know it's cold, but you don't want to get stranded out there!
Best of luck.

PS...
I put that syncromesh stuff in my Sol's trans and it made the grind and whirr-ing noise worse!!
I'm glad it works for other people, but I found out it doesn't work for everyone!
Use it at your own risk!

 

Yeah I am leaning toward a busted disc hub. I have broken a couple in the past on other cars and seems kinda like similar problems except the engagement point is still there and it occasionally fixes itself. Normally it would just crap on me and that was that. So I bled it again and its been fine since. If it does it one more time the transmission is coming off.
