Hello,
I have a manual 2006 Honda Accord LX. It has 75000 miles. At 61,000 my clutch died. I paid $1100 for a new clutch kit and flywheel resurface.
Lately, past 2 months, it's progressively jerking pretty hard at idle -When you initially give it gas. -When you decelerate with RPM above 2500 and happens mostly in low gears.
It doesn't slip gears. It doesn't grind. And it seems like it's a bit harder to shift into 3rd gear.
Pretty much, the car is not smooth drive at all.
I am having the business who replaced the clutch take a look at it tomorrow. Their repair is still under warranty.
My questions are...
Does this sound like a clutch problem or transmission problem?
Does this sound like it should be covered under their warranty?
I don't want to get ripped off because I'm not car savvy.
Thanks for your input.

 

Really not enough info to take a shot at this one. Sorry

 

I'm agree with OHD, this is a tough call.

Sounds something like what my 95 would occasionally do while driving, and I never figured it out. Maybe the PCM detected a problem and stored a code that will help figure out what is going on.

61K is early for a clutch to fail. Also, 14K is way too early for this clutch to fail.

Hopefully the problem will happen so the shop can identify the problem.

 

Thanks for the replies.
I was surprised that the clutch did fail at 61,000...
Hmmm, well, we'll see tomorrow.

 

Agree with everyone else, only thought is that there is a possibility the flywheel was cut too much. Let us know what you find.
