I have the 6speed manual and in all my gears the car is reving istead of cetching right it eventully does but then it keeps slipping any help??

 

Take your foot off the clutch!!

 

either you need to learn to drive a stick better or your clutch is fried.
only way that happens is if the clutch is worn out.
either you drive with your foot on the clutch or you slip it a lot while changing gears.

 

Buffalo werent you autocrossing your TSX? you may have fried your clutch.


BTW you never posted those autocross videos you promised!

 

How many miles do you have on your car? I have about 1200 miles, and my clutch is so new and grabby that I'm afraid to stall it (have to intentionally slip it a bit at low speed)

 

I went to acura today it wasnt my fault thier was somthing wrong with the clutch so free new clutch

 

So would this be the 5th blown MT?

 

No, it sounds like he just needed a new clutch. If he was auto-crossing his TSX it's more likely he caused the damage. He also posted that he learned how to drive a stick right before he bought the car, and that his first week was rough.

 

How was it not your fault when you have been beating on the car? Just look at your past posts....

 

Auto-x won't damage the clutch (if you know how to drive without your foot on the damn clutch). I have been auto-x'ing my Prelude pretty much since it was new back in 98. I bought the car in July 98, started auto-x'ing it in November 98 and have been doing it since then (at least one event per month). I had about 107k miles on the original clutch before I had to change it. And I know many of my friends from auto-x have over 100k miles on the original clutch.

The way I see it is that if you use the car (a brand new car) to learn to drive stick, your clutch will be gone prematurely. I learned to drive stick with my brand new 90 Prelude back in 90, and I had to replace the clutch after about 36k miles. My wife learned to drive stick in our brand new 99 Integra in 99, I had to replace the clutch at about 48k miles.

Also, if you drag race alot, your clutch will wear out prematurely too. The drag race launch really put lots of stress on the clutch. Most auto-x courses are designed with a sharp turn immediately after the start. So there is no need to do a drag race launch, and therefore the clutch won't see the stress that a drag race would put in.

Please don't mislead others that auto-x will damage the clutch!

 

i agree... if you are new to a stick then that's probably the cause of the problem and auto-xing has little to do with it. Now... your tires on the otherhand will suffer.

anyway, what was the "real" problem?
