At first I thought my clutch was slipping as when I would shift, the rpms raise higher than normal than drop. This has been happening for almost 3 weeks and I drive a lot of miles a week. If the clutch was slipping, I would've thought it would have gone already. Even when normally accelerating, the rpms will raise and the speed of the car slowly increases. I have been driving lightly and slower than normal since this is happening. Any suggestions?

 

it sounds like slippage.

 

Since this starting happening, everyone told me it will go very soon. I have probably put 1200-1300 miles on the car since

 

as quoted above....self adjusting clutch.
it will feel the same right up until it goes.

I replaced my clutch 11/05/10.
My symptoms were: 1st gear all the way to redline, shift into 2nd clutch would get STIFF.
the only time i noticed it slipping was in higher gears, 5th and 6th, after a hard RPM run. would shift into 5th and accelerate but only the RPMs raised not speed.

 

thanks for the info. a mechanic that owes me a huge favor is gonna swaps the clutch for free and I get parts at wholesale, so the whole deal will cost me under $300

 

Nice, I bought the clutch set from Acuraoemparts.com for $250
had a local mechanic install for around $400.

 

What is yall's mileage??

 

it doesnt really matter.
if the clutch was abused then it would go out sooner.
if you drive properly the clutch will last the life time of the car

a combination of the first owner, test drivers and my self learning how to drive the car resulted in a bad clutch at 35,000 miles.

 

It matters because I was curious!!

 

i intend not to EFF up my new clutch and have it last the life of the car!!! wish me luck
