Default Does my clutch need replacement?

The clutch is quite stiff and it squeaks at times. I have never replaced it. It is possible this is the original clutch. (I am not the original owner) My car has 110k miles. It this thing toast? I will be researching in the mean time.



Why is my clutch so messy? The problem is getting worse.


This doesn't seem right. I have never bothered looking into it. Can anyone show me the piece that appears to be missing. Thanks

Define stiff. Mileage is a really poor indicator for clutch wear, i've seen stock honda clutches last about 300,000 miles and i've seen some destroyed in 10,000 miles. It mostly depends on how it was used/abused.

Stiff isn't a good expression. It just seems to require more force that normal in my oppinion.

"Replace the clutch master cylinder and then bleed the hydraulic system. The job is very easy if you buy the $4 One Man Brake Bleeder tool from Harbor Freight Tools."



I got some help on from a cc member named RonJ. Thanks for the comments, you guys were on track.
