coolcat467 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I have a problem with my 95 ex. I think my clutch is going bad. When I put it in either first or reverse the clutch is catching right away. I checked the fluid level and it was fine. Once I get going, I can shift gears without using the clutch. It seems as if the clutch is engaged all the time. This problem goes away a little bit as the car gets warmer. I have no idea what could be wrong. Sorry if the description is bad but I'm not sure how to describe it. Please help me.
xer0 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 u might need to get your clutch fluid flushed. i had some thing similar with my civic.
coolcat467 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Posted February 2, 2007 Thanks xer0. Anyone else have any idea as to what it could be?
90IntegraC1 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 i can switch gears w/o the clutch, i just need to make sure the engine/trans are the same speed. and what's wrong w/ instant engagment? isn't that a positive thing?
coolcat467 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Posted February 3, 2007 Well I guess but it's like I got a new clutch or something. My clutch used to be really long and now I barely and I mean barely let off of it and it engages. It's weird. I never used to be able to switch gears without the clutch. And sometimes the gears grind when I have the clutch fully pushed down like when I'm trying to put it in reverse or first. It only does this sometimes.
coolcat467 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Posted February 3, 2007 bump I really need possible causes for this problem. Thanks.
IL3GL'88 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 it sounds like just the - of ur clutch goin out like its moving positions or mabybe ur clutch cable is slipping may need adjustment. this might sound stupid cuz i dont really know what im talking about here but wanted to give imput anyways.
Kegger Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 There is a good possibility it is your throwout bearing.
coolcat467 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Posted February 4, 2007 I found the problem earlier. All it was is that some air got into the clutch lines so all I had to do was bleed it out.
coolcat467 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Posted February 4, 2007 Yea I felt so stupid. I thought it was some major problem and it turned out to be air.
xer0 Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 i was gonna say that but was going whit what i had to do whit my old civic... maybe i had air in the line too and when i flushed the line it got rid of it :-p
