I took the car in for it's 10,000km service yesterday.. it's actually sitting on 9700km. That's not the issue though.
A few days ago, I was in cruise control driving home at night, sixth gear, when i noticed that the revs just slipped up... that generallly not being a good sign. Cruise was off once i got back into suburban traffic and throughout the next few days, i noticed it got worse. My worst fear, that the clutch had been worn out was true. It slips and revs without holding any power at any gear even with the slightest acceleratin sometimes.
Now... im pretty sure in general clutches don't go out in 10,000, that's ridiculous, considering i haven't even started to thrash the car around, like i've seen my other mates cars thrashed around in manuals.
When it was in for service, i got them to look at it for me, and the guy said yeah, uh worn clutch - im like WTF? they're like yep.. hafta talk to Honda, get approval to strip it.. and if they decide it's not warranty, then you pay.
Im like stuff that.. Im not happy with any of this at all. Either i've gotten a dodgy batch of a car with a crap clutch - extremely bad.
So im wondering i anyone has heard of anything similar?
On a side note, it gives me an excuse to put in a performance clutch, so im looking around for prices and brands at the moment, and want it put in asap, so any advice on that would also be appreciated
