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? |

Clutch is original to the car. Miles are mostly highway.. 100 miles a day.
Owner is a 32 year old woman.. She has only owned standard shift cars and has never had a clutch failure before. Disk shows no appreciable wear. If the lining was worn out, OK, wear and tear. If the springs were broken or weakened, OK, wear and tear. If the pressure plate was worn out, OK .. But not the case. The metal surrounding this 1 spring broke off. The other 3 are perfect. Absolutely no damage on the flywheel or pressure plate. Why would I peruse this ? So far, 1800.00 bill to replace clutch on a 4 year old car. That's why. No abuse, no dumping clutch.. Metal part of disk cracked and broke, no other signs of wear or damage on 3 other identical places. I want the Honda Rep to show me how it is worn out and didn't fail. that's all |
