Re: 1995 Honda Accord LX 5spd clutch
Ok, the mechanic had me pump the clutch while he adjusted some controls
on the front. He thinks there is still a leak, but it seemed to fix
the problem for now. I should have asked him to demonstate, so that I
could fix it myself. I didn't want to lean against the car because I
was too well dressed today for automotive lessons. I'll see how this
hold out. Does anyone know of any web pages or manual which describe
how to do this?
BTW, in 1979, I removed the transmission on a 1970 Dodge Dart. Too bad
I could put another one back in place. I am competent enough to be
dangerous.
He is a neighboor auto mechanic, and I trust him somewhat.
I try not to base these purchases based on price alone. I took my
Accord to the Honda dealer, but felt that I was talked into the fuel
pump. The real reason I have my apprehension is that I never heard of
replacing that fuel pump, until the last posting regarding the water
pump. BTW, if the water pump has failed, wouldn't that show up as the
engine registering too hot. It seems that they should have an alarm
for it.
Another time years ago and far away, the problem with the exhaust was
that I can't believe 3 mechanics needed to work on it before fixing it.
The last one, I asked the parts when he was done, but he claimed that
I told him to throw them out. That was BS. Unfortunately, I don't
know if I could have gotten away from not paying. He knew where I
lived, and believed he would do something like throwing a dead skunk
through my living room window when I was away on vacation. His ex-wife
once made a joke that he just cheats his customers, so was wondering if
that wasn't a hint.

He probably added brake fluid to your clutch resevoir and bled some air
out of the system. It sounds like you have a slow leak.

Anyone who knows what they are doing will recommend a new water pump
when changing the timing belt on a 2.2l Accord. (assuming 4 cylinder
based on manual trans) IF your original pump fails, it will destroy
the new timing belt (it is driven by the timing belt). The labor of
timing belt replacement and water pump replacement are combined so that
it is cheaper to do them at once rather than at separate times. You
don't have to take their recommendation, but they are giving you the
opportunity to spend money wisely now based on their many experiences
of original water pump failures occuring around 100K miles.

Excellent advice,and I am glad that you set the record straight. But
why is this not mentioned in the manual then?

If you take it to a Honda dealership and get it fixed by people who
understand Honda manual transmissions, the problem will go away.
Honda cars are among the most reliable autos on the planet, provided
that you do not abuse them, and you take proper care of them.
I have a 93 Acura Integra with 245,000 miles on it. most recent tank of
gas was 30.5 MPG. We've replaced the brakes once, time to do it again.
We've done the 90,000 mile scheduled maintenance twice and its nearing
time for the 3rd one of these. it uses less than a pint of oil between
oil changes.
I agree with the other poster that suggested that you are unhappy with
this car for other reasons (doesn't fit your image of who you are, too
old, too ragged in appearance) and want a newer vehicle. Fix this one
properly and it will give many many more years of fine service to some
lucky owner.

If you take it to a Honda dealership and get it fixed by people who
understand Honda manual transmissions, the problem will go away.
Honda cars are among the most reliable autos on the planet, provided
that you do not abuse them, and you take proper care of them.
I have a 93 Acura Integra with 245,000 miles on it. most recent tank of
gas was 30.5 MPG. We've replaced the brakes once, time to do it again.
We've done the 90,000 mile scheduled maintenance twice and its nearing
time for the 3rd one of these. it uses less than a pint of oil between
oil changes.
I agree with the other poster that suggested that you are unhappy with
this car for other reasons (doesn't fit your image of who you are, too
old, too ragged in appearance) and want a newer vehicle. Fix this one
properly and it will give many many more years of fine service to some
lucky owner.
