Hello all:

My clutch pedal engages closer to the floor after a hard acceleration. ie, revs above 4000, and at least 3/4 throttle, after two shifts like this, the clutch engages in the bottom 1/4 of its travel, as opposed to in the middle. Really annoying. After a couple of "easy" shifts, it goes away, and behaves normally.

I've thought of the automatic adjuster, and perhaps (although this seems a little out there) a bulge in the hydraulic hose that actuates the clutch.

Any ideas out there? Anybody else have this issue?

Thanks for any help.

 

how many miles on the car ?? if less than 36k ,, take it to the dealer it is under warranty

 

Hi,
It's got 60k (km), and it's a 04 coupe, v6 manual, 6 speed. (that part was in the post at the bottom)

 

I took it to the dealer, they said it felt "normal", but changed out the clutch fluid anyway. I don't think it's normal, and it's driving me nuts.

 

sorry, deserthonda, I just realised that is your signature line. I thought you had missed MY signature line.

 

hello 416...... I know your car is a 04.. it is on your signature i saw that.i wish all the members would do that... i was not asking for the year and model,, that is in my signature, it is always there to remind members to input year and model,,

unfortunatelly i cannot help you much from where i am sitting , this is a situation where i would have to drive and feel the clutch ,i was going to suggest that they would bleed the clutch system in case there was air in it , but they have already done that.
the only thing i can reccomend is, if you know anyone with similar car as yours to test drive it and see how the clutch feels , or if the dealer has a used car same as yours, tell them you thinking of buying it and take it on a test drive ..
in the mean time i will look up to see what i can find ( bulletin ) ...

 

sorry no bulletins found on your issue, the only bulletins regarding 04 v6 mt are ..

, clutch pedal squeaks ,, and ..

hard to shift into first gear, reverse grinds

 

thanks DH,
It's the strangest feeling, (I've driven sticks for 25 yrs) and never felt this. Peddle effort increases, and kind of hangs 75% of the way down. And the downshift comes on right away, and unexpectedly. I don't abuse the car, but it's like a horse and should be exercised, in my opinion. I didn't buy it so I could drive around like I had a corolla or something. I did see some stuff on braided clutch lines, presumably to eliminate any bulging, which I would expect to result in longer pedal travel since the fluid colum would change volume. As well the issue came up when the weather got a little warmer, which made me suspect the rubber hose. Anyway, thanks for your help, there aren't many of these things around that I can find, so I'll just keep after the dealer to fix it.

Thanks again.

 

I have this same EXACT issue. With an 06 Manual Accord v6. I haven't found anything that would help! Did you ever find out what was wrong/ how to fix it?
