clutch probs =\

[ms_manda]

today while i driving even was normal..
then i stopped at the lights and pressed the clutch in..
something made a noise and the clutch felt funny afterwards
now when i put it in gear it just slips
or if i take my foot off the clutch from a standing start
it doesn't stall..
basically it's half-clutching all the time.

i haven't been paid yet so i can't take it to the mechanic
but i kinda want to have an idea as to what is happening with it

argh! it's so annoying!
sorry about having so many questions guys
it's just... im hopeless with technical things
thanks if anyone has any idea..

could be the clutch cable, happen to my friends S13 b4!
not sure if its the same problem u got but yeh.
thats my guess....

[faijai]

amanda do u have anything normal with your car? lol

[ms_manda]

the sunroof works...
but it gets jammed sometimes -_-

[phantom_civic]

the sunroof works...
but it gets jammed sometimes -_-

motor is dying or the bearings on the sunroof is falling apart.
Like mine.

[ms_manda]

hmm.. i dont think it's either of those
coz it opens fine, its just when it closes and its meant to go up.. it doesnt unless u push it
the real problem is my clutch!!
=(

[phantom_civic]

Charlie the "MAN" can fix it for u.
I havent got his details so yeh.

[ms_manda]

lol, why is there such an emphasis on "MAN"?
hold on sunroof or clutch?
coz sunroof can wait till later :p

prolly been past it a few times, steve shuld know where it is

[ms_manda]

but he sounds... expensive.. lol

sounds like ur clutch master cylinder is gone. do u have leaking fluid inside the cabin? checked the clutch fluid lately?

[ms_manda]

well, at first i thought it was lack of fluid causing the problem
but i cant seem to find the fluid container.. are there cars without clutch fluid?
if not, where do i find it?
i looked along the firewall, but found nothing

It is supposed to be right next to your brake master cylinder.
what exact car do you have ? Possibly its a cable-operated clutch and hence you dont have a clutch slave cylinder (only hydraulic clutches do ofcourse)

[Weq]

next to the brake fluid container. its quite small. teh master cylinder is on the firewall

i have a delsol b16a2 does anyone know where the clutch fluid container is cause i cant seem to find it on my car, and can someone put it in a pic to make it clearer, oh and what colour should the fluid be??
thanks for helping

[ms_manda]

oh mine is a 88' integra
and i think it's cable not hydraulic

[SKREMN]

its cable didnt go hydo untill dc2/4
you have a cable with a screw on it adjust that tighter and it will raise your clutch point this may help to get it driving to see a mechanic

[ms_manda]

yeh im just going to bring it to hannys tmr
hopefully it isnt major! :(

[DC2108]

thanks thought so but wasnt sure

nice turbo :D

another thing what colour should it be??

[ms_manda]

they told me i have to replace the clutch :(
do clutches do that? just stop working? coz i always thought they wear away, start slipping and then need replacement
argh, problems problems :( :( :( :(

[SKREMN]

it sounds like pressure plate possibly
but look at it this way
the box will have to come off regardless
so u might as well get a new clutch

[ms_manda]

:( i know, i'm just sooking coz i wanted it to be a small problem.. like filling the fluid
the clutch kit is only around 135, its just labour thats the killer
:( :( :(
