Not sure if my 97 Civic Clutch is bad
I was givin a 97 Honda Civic. The only problem is its hard to get into
and out of gear, almost like the linkage is bent or it's real cold out. It also runs great but when I hit second gear the clutch seems to slip. Do both these symptoms sounds like they are clutch related? Is it worth it to repair at 181,000 miles? |

The brake fluid in the clutch hydraulics should be flushed to remove any water / rust. You might find the clutch works great. Adjustment might need to be backed off a couple of turns too. Try topping it up in the meantime. Use DOT 4 or Dot 3 brake fluid. Top up the _brake_ fluid as well, or the BRAKE light will be coming on too. 'Curly' |
