Well i tried everything to get my clutch repaired i went to 3 different dealerships none agreed to fix it for me so then i called acura and they said they would send a rep to check the car they said it was driver abuse so i then i got my lawyer and took them to court and lost......that was justa big waste of time.. so now i am stuck here trying to find a replacement clutch or any clutch that will go out on me with only 14500 miles on it and and someone to do the labor i would hope that someone can help me out ive been without my car for a good while now :'(

 

Was you're lawyer wearing a sombrero in court?

 

he mustve been...but no they didnt even consider it a case they had their mind set once they knew i had done minor modding like custom catback and also cold air intake plus the tire wear was significant...couldnt get around to rotate em too lazy plus i was about to buy new tires and rims also the thing that pisses me off they acuse me not knowing how to drive properly man....nothing i can do now but try to find something thats compatible with the tsx i dont wanna deal with those jackasses at the acura dealerships o and i forgot to give em the finger they can also kiss my big filipino

 

Yeah...the jackasses at the dealers...how dare them not replace the clutch.

 

So the clutch was worn out and the tire wear was significant after 14.5Kmiles? Just between you and us, how DID you drive your tsx?

 

Wahh!

If you want sympathy, you came to the wrong place. Try websters.com.

Burnt out your clutch after 14k? Learn to drive, I can almost guarantee the clutch was not defective.

 

If the tires were worn at 14K miles, it was not driven "regularly".

You wanna drive like, that you gotta pay for it.

 

WURD!!!

 

tread wear isn't a perfect way of comparing driving habits. My stock set on my Integra had a pair of tires that were pretty much dead at 18K with regular tire rotations.

And it's an auto

 

i guess it would be my fault and im wonderning then why arent my clutches worn out on my porsche boxster which i drive wayyy harder then the tsx. the porsce has 30000 and also my audi A4 which has 25000 miles on it i guess acura makes weak clutches or sumthing

 

dont usually do this but...

 

Maybe that's the problem - you're used to a German clutch - the Honda one is different in the way it should be used.

 

 

dabuda ill try to post some pics up when i can get my buddies digi cam over hurr but hes down in tuscon right now for the weekend if u really dont believe me and biker well since i not used to honda clutches what am i doing wrong i would realy lie to know so i dont burn out my clutch in the future but the purpose of this thread was to find some help finding a clutch i didnt mean to "cry" about thx if u would be so inclined to help me out

 

AZTSX, the wear on the clutch is caused mostly at launch in first gear/reverse and to a much lesser extent in between gears.

A lot of it depends on how much time the clutch spends in between full engagement (foot totally off the clutch) and total dis-engagement (clutch all the way to the floor).

You have to un-learn the clutch engagement characteristics of your other MT cars (German clutches are different than Honda clutches - usually heavier springs and different engagement point) and pay attention to the engagement point of the TSX. Make sure that unless you're shifting that your foot is not on the clutch at all. Don't use the engine/clutch as brakes, that's what the real brakes are for.
