What the - is this not covered by warranty? How much is the replacement Honda one? Is there anything you do that impacts clutch life (eg at a stoplight do you have the clutch depressed or when you slow down to a stop do you gear down 4 to 3 to 2, etc?). This is crap news.Quote:

You are beginning to worry me now ........
Clutch should be covered under the warranty...
I know mine was covered under warranty when i burnt the clutch on my euro... They replaced the clutch plate under warranty and gave me a warning if i burnt it again it won't be covered under warranty...
My car smelt of burnt plastics for like 3 weeks...
it is so strange to have a clutch go so quickly on a Honda.
Pum[Z] - how did you kill yours?
Which is a better way to slow your car down? I just push the clutch in...

Also don't sit at the traffic lights in gear with your foot on the clutch pedal - sit in netural. Then put into first as lights are about to change green. :thumbsup:Quote:

err...I disagree.
you should always slow down in gear, when before reaching to a complete stop (around 5-10kph) you can change it to neutral.
Lots of different views on this so I doubt we will reach consensus. It also depends on the circumstances - eg I will not coast on long hills, etc. I would prefer to replace brake pads than clutches and gearboxes. My dad, a mechanic of 35 years also advocates the method I describe above.Quote:

In the end thats what burnt my clutch.. I only had done a tad more then 4000km on the car... Luckily it was covered by warranty.. Got to be more careful now with the clutch...
Let me try and get this... Effectively, your wheels were spinning due to the water on the road, but how does that burn out a clutch if it's already in and on the drivetrain unless your foot is planted halfway on the clutch and that would explain the clutch burning out because it's sliding under load... :)Quote:
