So I let my buddy borrow my car. (First Mistake). Anyway he comes back with the car saying...hey the clutch is slippin. I take the car for a drive and low and behold...the clutch is slipping like an old lady walking on ice. Around two weeks go by of me babying the hell out of the clutch. Then one day, I had to get on it to get in front of a car and no slippage. I thought it was pretty wierd. So I tested the clutch from a stand still and it grabbed hard when I went into second. Then it was perfectly fine. No slipping at all.

My question is...when clutches start to go, they slowly fade out correct? So why would my clutch slip and then come back to life. Plans are in the making to get this badboy a nice little stage one clutch, but I am still curious why the hell my clutch was acting up.

Secondly, does anyone know of any write ups on clutch swaps in a 92 Accord EX

 

perhaps ur fucktard friend was slipping it like hell, and over heated the disc, and when u tested it, it was still hot, it can cause slipping.

 

I dont think that could be it because it had two days rest after I got it back. So it would have had pently of time to cool down

 

Could have got a little dust on the clutch surface.

 

Maybe your friend got the clutch so hot that the surface glazed. It would take daily driving to get rid of it. Just my $0.02.

ah ok, i was under the impression your friend returned the car to you right away,

 

Well the good thing is when **** breaks...I can buy better stuff =-)

So here comes a stage 1 clutch for her

 

id get one of the 6 plate clutches that debuted at the tokoyo auto salon .......its not that hard, just need some serious jack action

 

just my personal opion... get a sprung disc

also c-speedracing.com has a clutch write up i used to swap out my 95 h22 accord...

non sprung kicks in way too much for me
