What is to expect from an aging Manual Transmission? Specifically a 1999 Honda Accord 270K miles, but open to any experiences.
I’ve only replaced the clutch once around 150K miles as preventative maintenance. I didn’t feel any problems at the time. I don’t feel any problems now. How can I tell if the clutch is going bad?
I had something replaced but I don’t know what it was called. The problem was when the clutch pedal depressed, it never came back up. After forcing it up, it would no longer engage the clutch when depressed. Anyone know what this part was called that was replaced? It was around 220K+ miles. (This was before I took an interest in learning about the inner workings of cars).
Besides fluid changes, what else can I do to maintain this aging transmission?
Well for one thing, it is a manual so it is much easier to rebuild. Regular maintenance parts like the clutch. I keep saying my next vehicle will again be a manual but I keep finding deals on automatics. I say just enjoy the fact that it can be repaired, probably by you if need be.
GTK. Thanks.
What is supposed to bring the pedal back up is the pressure plate and the return spring on the pedal. Usually, manual transmissions only need seals and synchros when they're rebuilt unless they have been really beat on or nobody ever changed the oil. The shift fork pads and synchros are usually brass or bronze and go out first.
That might be it. The pressure plate and return spring. Thank you!
