My 89 Prelude has suddenly gotten hard to shift into gear. I've had to replace the flexible hydraluic line to the slave cylinder twice before so I assumed this was the culprit. Not so, the slave extends the full length and the reservoir is full. It operated fine yesterday evening then this morning it stopped cooperating again. I think its gotta be the throwout but maybe could be the clutch. I'm not sure a stuck clutch would act like this. It disengaged fully yesterday evening and would nearly fully disengage this morning - had it in gear with parking break on and idling but it was loading the engine slightly.
What do you guys think about diagnosis? How much is it gonna run me at a local mechanic - not necessarily the dealer?
