Well lets see today going to work I wasn't able to shift at all when the rpms went over 3500. If I reved it to 4500 or anything above 4000 the shifter would just jam and if I tried to force it a little bit it would just grind. It did the same thing coming home. I have about a 15 minute commute. My clutch pedal feels like it is going to the floor a little easier than usual to. The car has about 170,000 miles on it and was running strong with very few problems up until this point. I bought the car with 165,000 on it. I have no idea how long its been since the clutch was changed or if it has ever been changed. 1998 Gsr if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help.

 

Have you tried bleeding your clutch yet? just a suggestion.

 

check your fluid..could be low..thats what happend to mines too..fluid was low.

 

I dont know the proper procedure for it so that is the only thing holding me back on doing it. I have bled brakes many times but I have never done a clutch. Thanks for the suggestion though.

 

Fluid level is fine. Thanks

 

We must better check the clutch before we used it for our safety.

 

What???

Thanks. My older brother who has been a honda/acura mechanic at a dealership for 15+ years just got back from his trip to austraulia. He has been a mechanic almost longer than I've been alive. He said he would drive it and diagnose it tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for all of the help Guys. I really appreciate it.

 

Check up under the dash board and see if the clutch master cylinder is leaking. It sounds more like a hydraulic issue at this point judging from your description.

 

Which leads me to my next lesson...

Don't smoke crack

 

how many miles on the clutch

 

The car has 170,000 and the clutch is unknown so I wouldn't be suprised if it was the original clutch from day one.

 

Will do. Ill check before my bro comes over. Thanks

 

if you have money i'd go with a exedy stage 1 and a flywheel. but if you can't afford a or have a light flywheel take the stock one to a machine shop to be resurfaced for 40 bucks

 

If it ends up being the clutch that was my plan but i am keeping the stock flywheel because i personally do not like light flywheels. the rpms drop to fast.

 

Just some info for those wondering what was wrong. Although I doubt anyone was. But any way there was quite a bit of air in the system so after I bled it that helped it a little bit but it was still pretty bad. Then my older brother drove it and he said the clutch was pretty much shot so I need to get one. Thanks to everyone for the help. Hopefully this will help someone else out with the same problem one day.
