Thus spake "Al Reynolds" <ajr-news (AT) bat400 (DOT) com> : For the record, it was just the slave cylinder (AA man overcautious) and it cost me £125 all in. Honda wanted £215. 90 quid buys a lot of beer. When and where? |

GUEST wrote: Hi, I've just gone out to my 97 Honda Accord and there is no pressure on my clutch pedal. If I push it down, it goes all the way to the floor, and if I then lift it a little the spring causes it to come back up. Initially there was a little bit of pressure bringing it back up, but now there's none (engine off or on). When the engine is on, I can't engage any gears, presumably because depressing the clutch pedal is not having the normal effect. With the engine off, I can select any of the gears, and if I start the car in a gear it 'jumps' which implies the clutch *is* engaged and the gear selection is working. I am a bit wary of doing this too much as I don't want to put unnecessary strain on any other components in the clutch/gearbox. My guess is clutch master or cylinder - does that sound right? Is there anything simpler that could cause these symptoms? I had a full service about a month ago, so all the fluids should have been topped up then, and I haven't noticed any fluid leaks on the driveway. I'd go and check the fluids right now but it's dark and there's a gale blowing! As it stands I'm going to have to get it towed to the garage as I can't drive it at the moment. Thanks for any help anyone can offer, Al PS If anyone in the UK is reading, what sort of figure should I be looking out for a new clutch cylinder fitted at an independent mechanic? |
thing happened to my 90 honda accord last week. I thought maybe it
was the cold we suddenly got...it seemed to be ok after a little
driving. Then today, I could barely get it into gear in the parking
lot...I got about 2 miles from the house, and had to stop at a light.
It wouldn't go back into gear and now the gear box feels weird...like
it is stuck in a gear.
So I had to have it towed and the mechanics are saying not only do I
need a new master cylinder, but I need a new transmission....how true
is that? Keep in mind this mechanic is known for gross over estimates.
Would one failed shift really mess up the gear box that badly? The car
has low mileage for its age (96k) and has been in my family since it
was new.
