Worn clutch symptoms?
What are the symptoms of a worn clutch?
My 98 Accord has 184,000 on the original clutch. The last couple of
mornings on the way to work I had some troubles.
The pavement had a slight snowcover and I started out in first just fine,
but when I shifted to 2nd, the car started bucking. kinda like wheels were
slipping, then catching, slipping then catching. I shifted to 3rd and all
was fine. This happened two days in a row and I caulked it up to
wet/slippery roads. Then yesterday, coming home from work on dry pavement
in a rush-hour crawl, the same thing started happening. OK in first,
crawling along in second gear and it starts bucking again, like the wheels
are slipping.
I'm the original owner and have never had anything like this happen. Is the
clutch going? Or???
Thanks!
