so there i was driving my car and i noticed it was starting to feel really hard to put it in gear to a point were it had to fall in to gear just to drive so i pulled over and turned my car off and checked it out and it looked cool so i hop back in and now it wont start i took a look up under the dash were the clutch pedal is and i broke that bar that goes across at the top i hope someone knows what im talkin about cause its hard to explain unless u take a look but any segestions ? ur help is apreciated

 

Its a common thing mostly with aftermarket clutches, just go to the junk yard and get one or if you can weld or know someone that can put some fat beads on it and make it stronger

 

Let me guess you are not an SI?

CRX Toad has the pictures and we've chatted about this as I've had this problem myself. Non SIs oddly had a different pedal set, and it was weaker.

I've re welded mine and it's stronger then sin.

 

awww i see thanks guys umm a link to how to get the dang thing off would be very helpful please

 

doh! that sucks! hasnt happened to me yet, but i dont think it will be long before it does. then again i dont drive the sedan much.

 

ya my cars a dx

 

Nice the SI's are stronger?!?! I'm glad I pulled my pedal set out of an SI at the yard!

 

wow that sounds kinda scary.
makes me trip about my 6 puck in my std..

 

I've broken one out of an si and one out of a hf. Had to change one in a Sears parking lot.

Do a yahoo search of this forum using:

"clutch pedal" site:honda-tech.com

Many hits come up with info on replacing it.

 

theres 4 bolts holding the whole assembly on near all four corners of the plate, towards the firewall....disconnect the clutch cable, then gas pedal etc, then go from there....if im not mistaking, bump

 

My pedal broke off on the Highway, and snapped the clutch cable too!, what a pain in the *** to replace. so cramped

The same thing happened to my CR-X. Mines an Si too! Heres a picture of what happened. Some advice? Take off the dashboard! Some people might say that its too much work to take it off, But its NOT! It's more work trying to unscrew the bolts with the dash on! Check out my picture, Maybe this will clarify what your talking about...

Same exact thing happened to me. Just take the steering column out for easier access and i believe there is around 6-8 nuts holding the pedal assembly on. Disconnect clutch/brake/gas and it pulls right out. Then reverse process.

Im surprised this is such a common occurrence. If i would have known that i would have done a write up on it.

 

I wonder if DA assemblies could be modified to work. They seem much more beefy.
