Clutch is out of a 2009 Civic SI with 89,000 miles.
Nieces car, she took it to the Dealer because clutch sometimes wouldn't disengage completely. They took it apart and found the disk broken.. A piece of the metal that holds the spring in place broke loose.. Clutch never slipped.. Just intermittently didn't disengage completely. Usual Dealership and Warranty Company issues now.. They say it is a wear item. Anyone ever see a clutch disk come apart like this ??? I have an appointment with the Regional Honda Warranty Rep next week to show it to him. Any idea's? |

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.. The entire assembly came out looking like new.
Even the Service Manager said he wouldn't have believed it came out of a car with that many miles if he didn't see it himself. Car has a lot of highway miles. I looked on line and found a couple of Acura forums that show the exact same thing. If the disk was worn out and slipping, I'd say worn out, case closed. But the disk looks good enough I'd have put back in if the metal hadn't broken. I'll see next week when I show it to the Warranty Rep |
