SilverVti Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi Any clues on this ???Trundling along at 60 today in outside lane overtaking juggernaut. Enjoying the engine as usual ..... can't change up at all, can't change down. The clutch goes all the way down but can't engage any gear. Manage to pull off the road to a side road and still can't get any gear. Fortunately got enough momentum to not cause a crash LOL. Swerve into a local garage and mechanic says it's the clutch gone. Clutch goes down nearly to bottom before biting. Manage to enage gear and limp home. OK I've done 93k and not had a new clutch since new. Anyone got any suggestions please ? Do I need a completely new clutch and does it need the engine out as the mechanic suggested ??How much is this likely to cost ?? It's a Silver 1.8 Vti 1998 5 door.Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If you have got 93,000 miles from a clutch you have done really good . If it is the clutch the engine does not have to come out ,the clutch replacment is a 3 hours job so price will depend on hourly labour rates . as for the new clutch you will be looking £150 -£200 for that.

SilverVti Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Wow thanks for the advice chaps. So do I need the kit that has the bearing, cover and plate do you think ?I'll look up johnbankshonda straight away. I have identified a few on ebay that are compatibles, but obviously the OEM would be betterThanks muchly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
