Hoping someone out there might have some ideas. I have a 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T manual. I had an after market clutch placed on 3/28/23 ( Action Clutch) The clutch pedal adjustment was done last Wednesday. Everything fine until late Thursday from stop sign I had no power, went like a snail in 1st gear then the same in 2nd gear. Wasn't until I was in 3rd that it picked up power then drove normally. Any ideas?
Cannot get in touch with the people who put it in and have sent a tech request to Action Clutch. Also, a new master cylinder was placed OEM, and the clutch delay valve was taken out of the slave.
Wondering if I need to have pedal adjustment redone. Unfortunately, I live in Northern California and work was done in LA.
Comments appreciated

 

It's possible that issues arose while installing the new clutch and since those who did it are not around, a trusted mechanic should be consulted.

Adjustments to the clutch pedal, done last Wednesday, could have been wrongfully performed; hence talking to an experienced mechanic about the matter is a wise choice.

Other changes such as using an OEM Master Cylinder and taking out of the Slave Delay Valve shouldn't have caused too much trouble yet it's still advisable to seek expert advice before any further trouble arises.

Therefore, in order to identify & resolve any issue at hand it's essential that you get your car properly inspected by a professional; if you happen to live in Northern California but had the job carried out in LA then yes, returning back may prove inconvenient yet finding a reliable service provider locally is recommended anyway.

 

 

Thank you Lanee, the problem has been taken care of. Turns out I was shifting way too soon for the competition clutch(stage 1 Action Clutch), since I am used to an OEM piece of junk. Needed 600miles of on street driving to break in. Not used to that. The boys at VCD Racing did a good job of taking care of me over the phone. Had me drive car and I was shifting at 2000RPM when it should be 3000-3500 RPM, they were on the phone with me while having me drive. All these guys do is racing,(hondas only) put in clutches for people as far as New Mexico. Found numerous errors with the clutch Honda put in, reported to Honda Corporate and was able to get some reimbursement. I had them take pics of the errors which I sent to Honda. Here is the list that the supposed "Master Mechanic" did.....#1 Multiple misplaced bolts, #2 Shifter cable C Clamps installed in wrong position ( backwards) #3 Driver side charge pipe not tightened, clamp incorrectly placed #4 Clutch assembly glazed due to improper adjustment #5 Clutch fluid not replaced when they said it was (fluid was black) #6 master cyclinder bad VCD Racing replaced #6 hoses bent, improperly placed. Honda did say it was a "workmanship issue" and with difficulty did get Honda Corporate to reimburse, now facing off with dealership.
