Im not gonna lie it’s a accord but it’s the 4th-5th gen ones seems like that forum is dead f22b2 motor

Anyways all of a sudden the clutch peddle got hard and it would slip in every gear. If I let the clutch out in 3rd it will not stall just come down to idle rpm. Slave cylinder felt fine fluid level good on the master cylinder never noticed any leaks not under the peddle either, trans has fluid in it and the input shaft spins fine.

The po said clutch was replaced and I can confirm it was with a exedy and flywheel was too they basically all look like brand new parts.

So I’m stumped and i can’t find the pilot bushing, I didn’t take off the flywheel but would it be in there still? I can’t see it thru the hole and it didn’t fall out when I dropped the tranny

Any help is appreciated

 

Your flywheel as with any car will be right where you left it on there rear of the engine. Hopefully torqued down with the proper spec.

Get an $80 heavy duty clutch, see what happens, it's pretty cheap and good for diagnosing transmission issues. Maybe the clutch got damaged, sounds like a clutch problem no matter how long ago it was replaced. It matters who replaced it.

 

There is no such thing as an $80 "Heavy Duty" clutch... ANY clutch that only costs $80 is garbage.

OP, is the flywheel new ? If not, make sure that the step between the pressure plate mounting surface and the engagement surface is the proper height. Some aftermarket F/H flywheels have a pilot bearing and some have a bushing like the OE flywheel. You must have one or the other... although, this likely has nothing to do with your "clutch slipping" problem. The PO might be full of crap... it is always suspect when someone tells you about all of the wonderful things done to the car while it is FOR SALE. Usually, last minute fixes are done on the cheap to maximize profit (or minimize loss) after the sale. You may have to replace all of the components for the clutch/flywheel system.

 

It’s almost back together I’m just afraid it’s gonna happen again, it left me stranded. As much as I don’t wanna believe him, the clutch I took out was a like new exedy. Even with all the driving I did with it slipping not much of a sign. And yeah the flywheel was replaced too the car has 292k miles hard to not notice lol.. IMO it was replaced 4-6k miles ago that’s how new it looks lol

I replaced the trans fluid and put in a new clutch kit. So there’s no way this could be trans issue? Main shaft spins all day.

Air bubble in the clutch fluid system? I did not notice low clutch fluid, or any problems pointing to it beforehand, just all of sudden engaging second gear the car felt like I dumped it and the peddle got hard and engagement at the very top to the point where it’s impossible not to slip it.

When it was cold until operating temp guys no problems the clutch gripped fine all gears even up hills lol but once it warms up it’s like a clutch isn’t even there.
