Clutch problems
I was backing up out of my driveway, when all of the sudden the card jerked a little and stopped. It jerked because the reverse gear was still in place and the clutch was not engaging. It turns out that the clutch pedal is stuck all the way in. I can manually put the clutch pedal back to its normail state, but once you push it back in, it stays down. Needless to say, I cannot move the car at all; I cannot put any gears in. Any one have any ideas?

IRONICALLY enough...I performed an update to the clutch hydraulic system on the 6th gen Accords, just a couple days ago. It basically states that the clutch master AND slave will fail, and I was given updated parts to install. The parts were an updated clutch master, slave, and the line that connects them. It was easy enough for ME to do it...being a former Audi tech. I don't recommend this for anyone who's NOT mechanically inclined. The clutch master and slave are easy, it's the line that's kinda hard, because of the way it's routed. And YES, you HAVE to replace the line. The old line will not fit into either the new master or slave.

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to have any website that will illustrate what needs to be done? I took a look, and I can see both master and slave are simple. I can see the line as well, and it does not look hard. Then again, I have not tried taking it out; that is probably when I am going to find out if it is hard or not. Also, where did you find out that all the parts you were given are updated? And that you need a new line as well? I have been shopping around a couple of websites and none mention this. I am yet to go to the dealer and find out, but that is next. Thanks for the help.

I have a 98 accord EX sedan. I went ahead and ordered all parts, including the line, just to be safe. I think I should be ok when I try to replace them. It looks a lot easier than replacing a power steering hose on an 89 prelude !!! I'll update once I am done. Thanks for the info.
