my son was driving up hill and he lost any power to keep going, when I
tried, i could let the clutch all the way out and there was very little power. Some days later, I was able to drive it into the garage but had to rev pretty high to do it. What could this problem be? |

if the disk is worn (or pressure plate damaged/lost tension) you will not
get transmission of power from engine flywheel to transmission. The pressure plate pushes the clutch plate against the flywheel when your foot is off the clutch. It will go into gear just fine.

I also assume you must have a cold right now too as you should smell it
burning. |

What do you mean lost power!
While the clutch is engaged does the engines rpm raise up, thus causing limited movement? If so then I'd check the clutch disk or perhaps is a glazed flywheel! -- There are no words that can be heard unless someone listens....

The cable may simply be out of adjustment. Correct. Depending on how bad you are at driving with a clutch, these Civics will go from properly adjusted to slipping in no time. The adjuster is on top of the transaxle right at the clutch cable bracket. It is a round plastic knob that you turn counterclockwise to increase clutch cable freeplay. Adjust until you have 1"-2" of clutch pedal freeplay (movement before the pedal gets hard to push). If this doesn't cure the slipping, then it's time for a new clutch, pressure plate and release bearing. Toyota MDT in MO |
