Hi I am new to the site, and have gotten a lot of good information from reading the posts. I have owned a 90 civic ex for 2 year now, and I just bought a 91 CRX hf (manuel tranny) about 2 months ago.
I had a problem today in my CRX i would like to ask about...
Well today I backed out of a parking spot and I had no problems driving in reverse. When i shifted into first, initially it was fine, but when i shifted to second, I got no power to the wheels, I went to rev the car but the rpms stayed at 1000 and the car shakes real bad, and gradually the engine dieds out. I resarted the car and went to drive off again in first but the car didn't seem to get any power to the wheels, it stuck at 1000 and gradually died. I tried this several times (some of the times it took several times to get the car to restart), finally the problem seemed to be fixed, I was able to drive the car back to my house, although at lower rpms I could feel a slight slip in the clutch. I have only had this problem once before but it did not last long, and it didn't make the engine shut off.
I am thinking that i definately need to replace the clutch and cover, but I was wodering if you thought that it may have to do with a bad release for or worn clutch cable... I have never noticed the clutch not fully releasing when i pressed down on the pedal... so i am not quite sure...
anyway if anyone can give me any insight i would appreciate it, thanks again
