okay honda techs, ive been contemplating on continuing messing with accords cuz of this car but anyways....

symptoms:
1) the clutch begins to slip after the car is ran for an hour
2)im not beating the crap out of it, im actually driving like a grandma

what i replaced/did:
1) flywheel
2)pressure plate
3) clutch disk
4)bled the slave cylinder
5)adjusted pedal freeplay
6)bled the slave again
7)and bled again

what i noticed:
THE EFFIN SLAVE AND MASTER CYLINDER ARENT LEAKING AND THE **** IS ONLY MESSIN UP HOT.

 

my friend mentioned something about switching my fluid to dot4 cuz it might be bubbling

 

when i did replaced the entire clutch assembly, i did provide the clutch and flywheel a clean mating surface by using a low grade sand paper and sanding it.

 

this weekend i am planing on changing the mastercylinder...and switch to dot4 fluid...any input????

 

What kind of clutch kit, and was the flywheel resurfaced or just sanded by hand?

 

oem clutch and it was a new flywheel, i just scratched it with sandpaper a lil to give it a clean mating surface. before i put it on i had all the debris blown off

 

anyone know this answer??????

 

???????????????????????????????????

 

i replaced the clutch cuz i thought it was worn but it had like 40% left, and when i took that out, i found a p plate bolt snapped off in the flywheel. so i replaced the flywheel and p plate. does anyone know

 

Kinda agressive here...ask a mechanic if u can't figure it out, whut gen accord is it?

 

yeah cuz its my daily, i take it to skool which is like 45 mins away at like 11pm in the boondocks of ct, i dont wanna get stuck with it. as for asking a tech, i havent gotten around to that yet. and its 96 so it a 5th gen coupe

 

only looking for a lil honda guidance...thanks

Similar problem happened to a customer. Go check on that pedal freeplay again, I have a good feeling your clutch isnt disengaging all the way when you should be in neutral so its hot spotting and slips until it cools down.

 

funny thing is i bled the clutch a few times and itll feel fine however to get the full contact of the clutch and flywheen i adjusted the pedal freeplay so the connection would be shorter

 

My guess is that the flywheel is staying engaged just a hair, and its heating it up, therefore slipping would occur.

 

ditto on the pedal free play
re-check this
as the fluid warms up it expands and slow starts to release the clutch
my friend's nissan had the exact same prob when hot
did the adjustment (properly) and it was fine since

 

Had the same thing on a friend's d16z6, and it happened to be the rear main seal blowing oil all over the pressure plate and causing it to slip, mostly pronounced upon warm-up after driving increased pressure to where it coated the clutch and caused it to slip.
