Agreed. I've got a 99 Accord sedan with 5 speed. I think the original clutch is working on becoming due, as it slips a little when you really get on it. But then 238K miles will do that. At least the heat works great, and the AC still blows frigid air in the summer.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll do it once it warms up around here, as it's currently 22*F and I have a garage full of cars needing work too.

Edit #1: I just looked up your car, they have an AMS kit which includes a new Slave Cylinder, Master Cylinder, Flywheel, and Clutch Kit (release bearing, pressure plate, clutch disc, and pilot tool) for a very reasonable $224.79.
Edit #2: A new LuK flywheel is $34.79 and a new LuK Clutch Kit (same parts as above) is only $71.79.

I bought all LuK clutch components for my TL last year from RockAuto, Dual-Mass flywheel included, for under $400, I imagine a 1999 5-Speed Accord will be significantly less expensive.

Thanks for checking into it for me. I was probably going to use them for parts anyway, since it seems they usually have the best price on the parts I need. Right now winter is trying to stick around and remind me spring isn't here yet, as we just got 5 inches of fresh snow this morning.

Actually I got to looking at the odo, and found it's at 234,880 miles, not 238K miles. Sorry about that (my wife's car has 239K on it with an AT). The clutch also hasn't been slipping that bad recently, so it must have been the hot weather we had that one day last fall, even though I could smell clutch material. So, I'm going to nurse it as long as I can, and probably do it in the early fall.
- I happen to be in Michigan visiting my brother at time.
- My broken leg is well healed up by then.
- The requisite amount of beer and pizza is on hand.

If not, maybe we can get together and have a couple of cold ones and BS for a while. In the summer months I usually always have some cold ones around. I'm just outside of Port Huron.
