I have a 1994 Honda Civic Ex(d16z6) w 115.000 miles. Today i left work and my

car felt like it was skipping on the road. first i thought it was because of the snow

but i took it on some dry pavment and it still did it. when you pull off in first gear

and you go slowly it feels like the tires are skipping or vibrating. (it's almost like if

you put the car in a high gear and try to drive, the feeling of it when its about to

die.) My clutch is about gone but i'm not sure if thats it becasue if i switch gears

fast and let the clutch off fast it wont do it but if i drive normal it will. also my

clutch lets off almost at the top. My other problems are the crankshaft bearings

and water pump but im not sure if that would contribute to that problem.

Thank You In Advance,
Haydn

 

Check for bent wheels.
Broken drive axles.

 

you probobly have snow jammed in your wheels... the weight will "unbalance" the wheels and make it jidder when you're driving it...

That's the most likely thing I can think off.

 

You seem to know what your problems are. Just get them fixed. It's mainly your clutch, but get the other problems fixed ASAP!

The reason I'm saying clutch is the way you described how it is when you "pop" it after a shift. The "pop" is giving the clutch disc enough force to grab the flywheel that little bit more. You really need to understand how a clutch works to see what I'm saying.

That's good thinking too! It'll happen if more if you don't have wheel covers.

 

snow in wheels happened to me just a few weeks ago
came from snow-donuts
took the wheel off and banged all the ice off....problem solved

 

check your lugnuts

 

i dont have ice in my tire wall. i checke to see if it was that. oh yeah this morning i kinda slide into a curb on the passenger side but it wsnt anything big i was going about less than ten miles per hour. do you think it has anything to do with my clutch.?

 

nevermind, my help would prob be way off in left field.

 

lugnuts????????why, to see if they are loosen?

 

by tire wall.. you mean INSIDE the backside of the wheel... not the wheel well right?

Because snow inside the wheels wouldn't be something you could really see from the front unless you have pretty open wheels...

Hitting a curb at 10mph could CERTAINLY bend something enough to make it shake... not to mention it could have knocked off some wheel weights.

 

Sounds like it's time to pull of those wheels and check for bends, missing tire weights and tons of ice/snow packed in them. Check on the side you hit the curb with for bent LCA and broken axles as well.

After letting us in on that little secret of his, I would certainly agree. That's plenty to f your **** up. Still though, get all that other **** fixed.

 

Ok thanks for the help i'll check it all over again tomorrow afternoon. thanks

agreed, compounded with the snow is bad news.

 

Hey guys thanks for the advice. i took her out tonight and lighted it up, just because i was mad, well it is amazing a huge piece of ice fell when i lit up the tires.
thanks for the advice though
