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? |

Last car she owned went 180,000 miles on original clutch and when removed at 180
the pressure plate springs were the problem. The disk itself looked good enough that the mechanic that took it out was shocked. There is an extended warranty on the car to 100,000 miles, but that warranty is owned by the Dealer, not Honda. I'll start with Honda since they are supposed to have Great Customer Service.. and then go for the Dealer if necessary.. They aren't known for having any customer service. I'll just have to wait to talk to the Rep next week. |
