Default Re: Honda Civic DX 1990 - cannot accelerate properly

Well, mine's a 91, and I was assuming that the shared components from 90-93
would have included clutch parts as well, but that was only an assumption.

However, I just looked up the clutch components on Majestic Honda's parts
server database, and it looks like the 90 Accord has a hydraulic clutch as
I was imagining, so where are you getting your data from? Could be a
date-of-manufacture thing.
