couple of stupid clutch questions
alright here's my situation, it is taking an excessive amount of force to shift into gear, when it finally does go into gear, it feels like it's popping into gear, I'm assuming that the problem is my clutch,but if anyone else can think of any other possibilities I'd like to hear them. I'm about to order a replacement clutch, which brings me to my next stupid question, what the hell is a throwout bearing? (see told you it was a stupid question) anyway any responses would be nice

Depending on the age of the car, you could need new shifter bushings and/or motor mount inserts so that the transmission moves less. I used to have a tough time shifting and they helped.

define difficult, with me shifting is damn near impossible

does the pedal fall to the floor, or require much less effort to depress it?
if so then it could be your clutch, or clutch master cyl.(leak) |
When is the last time you've flushed your tranny? That might cause it to be hard to slide into gear.
Since it looks like the guy up above just copy & pasted the info on a throw-out bearing, I'll make it simple. When you push the clutch, it pushes fluid into the master cylinder causing it to push your shift fork. When your shift fork is moved it presses the throw-out bearing against the splines on your clutch; which in returns seperates it from the flywheel allowing you to shift. Normally I'd say go with an OEM throw-out bearing from the dealership but honda's might not have the same problem as my dsm. |
pedal travel is the same as ever it's just shifting that is being troublesome, at a standstill the shifter moves easily, but once the car is rolling shifting is hard, also in 1st gear it chatters if that lends anymore insight to anyone
