It seems I've been hit by another bad luck. my clutch burnt out on me last night, and that's when I was driving in first gear trying to get into my garage :rolleyes:
have called honda and someone would come to see it this week. I'm without my wheels now grrrr..... I hope they'll cover this in warranty otherwise I'll explode!
Not good news how many KM have you done ?
sorry to hear mate, but what did you do?
You get me worried here, there are quite a few cases of burnt clutch issue already
My clutch feels funny too at times, mostly at 1st gear uptake as there's a bit of shrudder vibration going on...
I used to have a corolla sportivo and i burnt out its clutch at 11000.
Is it a defect or it's the way you drive?
i don't understand how a clutch can burn out at 11000.
At least you have excuse to upgrade to a better clutch & a lightweight flywheel!
man this thread has me a bit worried...
holly crap. Since Feb 05 I have been really paranoid about my clutch due to posts on this forum. Now with Euro77 out this is scary. I remember looking at his tyres at the dyno day (20,000kms) and thinking that he is definately not an agressive driver as the tyres looked new.
I don't touch the accelerator anymore between up changes - I used to feed in some power at the friction point - made for a nice smooth change - especially 1st to 2nd gear.
Now my method of changing gears is probably more sympathetic but not very smooth 1st to 2nd gear. No accelerator at all until clutch pedal is fully out.
Good luck Euro77 - let us know how you go with the warranty side of things.
I was just driving up my driveway in first gear, then suddenly I smell something burning. I wasn't even riding up my clutch :/
then this morning I drive it a bit to test, and I noticed the clutch slipping at times, even on 1st gear... :(
Opening myself up here for pot shots...maybe the electronic throttle is slightly engaged through changes even though your foot is off throttle basically due to the sensitivity of the throttle is setup maybe Honda should run a flash upgrade to null the response of the throttle a fraction
This is really odd...
you didn't rev it right up to the redline when you drive up the driveway did ya? I really doubt it though.
Do you have the master clutch cylinder problem? somehow I think the problems are linked in someway or another. Logical explaination is the master clutch cylinder is leaking clutch fluid resulting clutch not release properly & wears out.
haha, auto lol i found a plus point.
That is real mature Faiz - laugh about someone else's misfortune.Quote:
