Transmission/Clutch or simple fix? 1994 Honda Accord EX 5 speed
I have a 1994 honda accord ex manual with a v-tec engine. I have had the master cylinder, oil sending unit valve and the cluthch slave cylinder replaced. When I am driving on occasion (randomly) my car will not accelerate, the rpm's will go up and the vehicle will rev but the car will not go itself. I thought it would be the clutch but I am not sure because on somedays it will drive perfectly fine. Please Help I am New to the Honda world and would like to fix it myself if possible.

If you want to try to "catch it in the act", have a look at the clutch throw-out lever. When working properly, it should move back & forth about 12mm when you pump the clutch pedal.
Probably will be a PITA to catch this; you'll need someone to watch as you pump the pedal & it'll probably screw up when you're alone in the car. Like PA says, it sounds like the clutch is starting to slip, but I don't know how it can do that sometimes & not others.

Another way to check...
With the clutch pedal NOT pressed down, take the throw-out lever & press it over towards the clutch slave cylinder. There's a spring inside the slave, pressing the piston out. On a new clutch, you should be able to compress the cylinder quite a bit. As the clutch wears out, that extra compression will gradually dissapear to where you cannot compress any more. So how much does YOURS compress?
