I have a 95 Accord EX 2-dr 5-spd with 157,000 miles. The clutch is engaging closer and closer to the top of the pedal travel and once I actually felt it slip a little. I've been taking it easy trying to get as much life out of it. This car is stock except for a K&N air filter. I'm quite certain that it's not the primary/secondary slave cylinders...they were just replaced approx. 1 year ago. The Honda dealer said he would replace the clutch and resurface the flywheel for about $600-$800 (off the top of his head)...I've messed around under the hood of several different cars, but I've never rebuilt a transmission. I'm willing to try it (and save several hundred dollars at the same time) Should I get a book on it and try to do it myself? If so, what parts would I need? Will a clutch kit have everything I'd need or should I just leave this up to the professionals? :nono: Any input and/or questions would be appreciated.

Sorry, didn't know there was a tech section...I'll cut and paste this over to there...sorry 'bout that...

 

You can really save some money providing your own clutch.

I would suggest taking some pricing to the dealer for OEM clutch, pressure plate, and pilot bearings. Then see if he will match that price and then pay him for the labor as well.

A clutch is kinda big for a first time job.
