I remember reading a year back on this, it was mentioned that lithium grease can cause more damage. I had the creaking clutch, and I intentionally used the lithium grease at the slightest reappearance of the creak.

Temporarily it made it go away for about 2 weeks max (i dont drive much). But within couple months the creaking got so bad to the point I couldnt properly (or smoothly) press and release the clutch that made shifting a big headache.

(reason I made sure to spray was that after it got bad my stupid aftermarket warranty acknowledged the issue and replaced it).

Last I checked the clutch master cylinder was around 240$ with 220$ labor from Honda .

A link on a previous thread, where to spray also,

Thanks for the replies.

What is actually causing the clutch to squeak?

Thanks for that, looks good. How do you find the handling, lots better?

The problem is with the clutch master cylinder

Its just a known problem that happens. A couple of dealers have said that they did revise the part and it isnt a problem anymore, but there is no evidence of such I believe.

I found it quiet better. Not as much body roll imo.

Can anyone tell me if the 2005 accord i have (pre facelift) has front and rear curtain and side airbags or just curtain? The reason i ask is it says 'side curtain airbag' where the curtain airbag is usually located.

Usually there are 2 separate airbags, one for side, one for curtain.

Thanks.
