Honda Car Forum

Hi guys,

I recently got a 96 integra as a gift and after driving it for 2
months I noticed the gears were getting heavy, I was kind of forcing
the gears to get the car going. After a while the gears didn’t shift
at all so I sent it to the mechanic, he said that the problem was the
clutch, so I bought a new clutch and flywheel. My mechanic installed
them and the car was ok to the drive home. since this is a car that I
am trying to fix little by little it was kept on my garage (I drive a
mustang until my lease expires). today i took it out for a spin and
the friggin car has the same problem. I drove for like 5 minutes and
the gears started to get heavier and heavier until it got stuck again
(in neutral). I am really upset, can anybody give me an idea of the
problem I am facing??, I appreciate your time and help.

Thank you again

Most likely the clutch master and/or slave cylinder is leaking.

Either the master clutch cylinder or the slave cylinder is leaking or
failed. Check the fluid level in the master clutch cylinder and if it is
low, then this is your problem (one of the two cylinders is bad).

If this is the first time you have driven it since the clutch was replaced,
I suspect this was the problem all along (bad hydraulic cylinder) and you
paid for a clutch that maybe you didn't need.

Thank you guys, actually the master cylinder was also replaced when
the clutch and fywheel was installed so I do not think this is it.
I also check the level of the fluid and it’s on the right level.


Any other thoughts?

Thanks.

teGGy: Pajero was a model of Mitsubishi, however in my country Pajero
means "Wanker" LMAO. :wink:

Both of my GSRs had transmission problems. The one that had a tough time
getting into first gear had syncro problem. Also for some reason the after
market transmission oil didn't work well and after switching back to
Honda/Acura oil it shifted smoothly.

That tells you nothing. What was the old MC replaced with? A used one or a
good-quality rebuilt one?

Also, as has been already pointed out, what kind of oil is in there? The
wrong oil will result in considerable difficulty in changing gear. DRain
and refill with Honda MTL, or failing that, use ordinary 10W-30 engine oil.

Yeah, LOL, that's why I asked that question. Why on earth would Mitsu name
a car "pajero" for a Spanish market? It's worse than GM selling a car
called the "No va".
