How can I fix a new clutch that is slipping?
I checked all the answers you got so far, none of them even consider the gear box. Everybody blame the engine rear seal, but lets think again. The rear seal is behind the flywheel. How is oil going to get passed the flywheel and wet the clutch?If you smell oil burnt from the clutch area, it will be from the gear box. Check the level of the oil there, will be low.Oil leaks out from gear box passing the seal of the main input shaft. This oil is just inches away from friction surfaces of the clutch.They are two root causes for that. First is a hardened seal in the gear box. Second is a free radial movement of the input shaft while rotating. If the shaft moves up/down while rotating, no seal in this world will work. Therefore after you take transaxle out, check if main shaft moves freely up/down.If it moves, check first if it should move or not.If should not, take the transaxle to a shop for repairs.If it is ok to have some movement, bear in mind that movement is not allowed while rotating. To make sure of that the designers installed at the rear end of crankshaft a bearing or a bushing. Replace that part. If the centering device used to install the disc barely enter the bearing or has minimal play you are good to go.Every time when I repaired these oil leaks in the clutch, these were the only problems.A rear engine seal makes a mess but won't cause the clutch to get oil wet.Of course, I agree with the others, don't take chances and replace the pressure plate and throw bearing.If the clutch is hydraulic, make sure the rod in the slave cylinder can be pushed inside with one finger while clutch pedal is lifted up. NOT happening this way you have a problem. In this situation your new clutch will be half engaged and will slip. TRY this test BEFORE you take all apart, you may get lucky to get away with a hydraulic clutch system replacement, usually they are one assembly, master, line and slave.I know is not usual, but I also saw clutch pedal half seized on the shaft. Pedal was not coming back all the way after I took the foot off. Obviously the clutch was sliping.Greasing the shaft and journal fixed the problem.I hope I could help.Good luck.
Will a bad clutch fan affect your air conditioning?
Definitely, a bad fan can damage your vehicle's air conditioning system. This is what normally acts as a heat exchanger for the air conditioning unit. The fan is designed in such a way that it helps in keeping the condenser cool, by which that component can convert the gas into liquid efficiently and can keep the convertible's AC system operating smoothly. Thus, when the fan becomes defective, it creates various complications in the AC unit. Lukewarm air, burning smell, overheating while idling- are the symptoms of a bad clutch fan. The car owner should an accomplished car specialist right away to restore the performance of his vehicle's air conditioning system.
How do I adjust an automatic clutch on a 2003 Honda Recon? It is not an ES model.?
The Honda Recon has an ajustment in the front of the case. you can find a large nut with a sloted inner adjusting screw in it. First insert a large straght slot into the middle and while holding it still, take a wrench and loose the large nut. Now with the nut loose turn the slotted screw in until your feel it snug. Now turn the screw back out 1/4 turn and hold it steady while you re-tighten the nut.
How do I fix my Honda Accord transmission problems?
When it comes to Honda automatic transmissions, when problems occur, replacement is a must. Transmission failure is common in years between 98–2003 in many models. Usually there are rough shifts and eventually second gear goes out as it is the workhorse of the transmission. This is only evident in the automatics. If you love driving Hondas, I suggest learning to drive a stick as that is where the company seems to excell.I have replaced 3 honda transmission. One in my 95 accord, 00 civic, and my brother's 98 accord V6.Vehicles with the V6 or the newer K-Series engines with automatics are succeptible to failure due to the greater amount of horsepower applied compared to the older 4 cylinder models.CarComplaints.com is evidence alone of the problem. Honda eventually provided warranties and rebuilds but the problem persisted. The company still fails to acknowledge that there is an issue.If you have an older Honda, go on Craigslist and find one for a decent price and pay someone to put it in or do it yourself if you have metric tools, a jack, and jackstands. (Honda Service Manuals are online, look on the Honda Tech forums) Have a friend help you and drop the transmission from under the car after unbolting and disconnecting all clips and fluid lines. Dont forget the shift cable as well. You may need to loosen some things at the shifter assembly portion inside your car if confident enough that you can put everything back properly. Take out bolts holding transmission to engine while jack is under it. After it is free from engine lower it and pull away. Reverse to installIf you have a newer Honda, you go to the dealership if you are under warranty and inform them of the problem. If not, try to find another transmission online that is not too expensive and pay a shop to install. Newer vehicles have more sensors than older models and require higher levels of expertise.
How hard is it to convert an automatic to manual?
Too hard. If you have to ask, seriously, it's too hard and not worth thinking about.Of course, anything is doable with enough ambition and, more importantly, money. It is done all the time, but it is very complicated and expensive and only makes sense for rare/enthusiast cars.You don’t need to be a mechanic to get the general idea. For example, you obviously will need a clutch pedal and everything that goes with it (clutch master cylinder, hydraulic lines, slave cylinder). You will need to cut the firewall, fit and mount all of those components.You will need a new shifter assembly and all of the linkages that go with it. Routing them in/through/around the interior of the car is very difficult and will require disassembling much of the interior of the car.The new transmission can be bolted to the same engine, but it will need different mounts, probably a different driveshaft, and wiring for its own sensors.Then, you will need to deal with all of the minor issues like the fact that your automatic transmission car won’t let you shift out of park without pressing the brake… and your manual transmission version will need a clutch safety sensor to make sure you can’t start the engine without holding down the clutch… and that will need to be wired into the ignition and brakes… and you will need to get rid of the old Transmission Control Module and figure out how to bypass any traction control that was built into it.On older cars (pre-1990s) it is more doable because there are less electrical components and sensors to overcome, but it’s still difficult. If you’re paying someone to do it, it would be cost prohibitive on all but the most rare and valuable cars.I know people who have done it… again, the older the car, the easier it is… but it was a huge pain and you would be better off paying an extra couple grand to find a manual version of the car you want so that you don’t spend the rest of the life of the car dealing with little follow up issues.
LOCATION OF BANK1 SENSOR2 2004 HONDA ACCORD?
Honda accords have 2 sensors. Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine on the exhaust and sensor 2 refers to the second sensor away downstream .from the engine usually at the cat converter.
How much would an automatic to manual transmission swap cost?
It depends on what vehicle and what manual transmission. In general, on a rear wheel drive vehicle, swapping out the auto for a stock style manual isn’t terrible. Stock manual transmission assemblies can run anywhere from $1000 to $2000 on common vehicles. Removal and replace usually takes between 5 and 8 hours. Adding a clutch pedal and mounting a cylinder depends on the vehicle and again, whether it is aftermarket or stock bolt in. The problem is, you can’t always just bolt stock replacements back in. If the parts aren’t modular, then adding a pedal can take some time.Swapping out the flex plate for a flywheel and installing a clutch only adds about 15 minutes to the overall labor time.I doubt that manual and auto trans on any vehicle are exactly the same length, so the driveline probably needs to be cut and re-welded. This part of the job would be outsourced by most shops and may run 100–300 bucks. Measuring everything properly so accurate info can be given to the driveline shop takes time. Pinion angles must be checked with the new driveline and in some cases must be adjusted which sometimes requires different spacers being installed under the rear axle.Measuring and cutting a hole for the shifter and boot takes time. Re-wiring the neutral safety switch takes time as well.So, you have the parts cost of transmission, pedal assembly, reservoir, clutch fluid hose or cable, clutch kit, flywheel, driveline modification, any additional brackets that must be bought or made, shifter boot and neutral safety switch swap.Then you have the standard labor of removing and installing the trans, plus the extra labor of making everything work. The extra labor cost is very hard to pin down without knowing what vehicle and if you are going with nice, aftermarket parts or trying to stick with stock parts.Trying to covert a front wheel drive vehicle to manual has potential to be easier. It would be (possibly) easier and cheaper to just buy a complete motor/trans assembly and swap out the whole thing. Sensors might need to be modified and some holes cut in the firewall, but anything can be done.So, I dont know. On old trucks you might be able to do it for 2500 if you buy all new components. On newer vehicles it gets more and more expensive the newer you get as more and more components must be modified or swapped.
Will 22 inch rims fit on a 2002 acura TL?
No, not without a serious lift in the suspension, or are you trying to make a donk? Without a lift kit the maximum wheel size you should go is 19" and even than is debatable. I found some sites that listed 18" or even 17" as the max. Stock was 16", 17" for the TL-S. I wouldn't go more than 18" personally. Keep in mind that if your overall tire diameter is increasing that will raise the car up and you'll need to get lowered shocks to bring the car at least back down to stock. Again unless you're looking for the "donk" look.
