i mentioned this hot ride in a few other threads...a 1992 honda accord LX. 5spd...155k miles.
the dealer has now done a TON of repairs (no cost to me) before and after the sale:
new:
-timing belt
-water pump
-full exhaust
-driver side mirror housing and mirror (with motor)
-balancer shaft seal
-front rotors
-front wheel bearings
pretty impressive service from the dealer, eh?
anyway, i realize it's a 14 year old car...so she is not going to drive like my TL, but i still like to know what CAUSES problems, even if they are not serious.
so, what causes this one:
starting from a stop and easing off the clutch SLOWLY (like when the car in front of you is moving too slowly to take off at "normal" 1st gear/clutch speed)...the car would shudder fairly bad until i got all the way into 1st. it only did this a few times today, and otherwise seems to shift perfectly (i cannot feel any slipping in the clutch, etc).
thoughts? perhaps it's just me not being used to the clutch yet and i wasn't giving it enough gas for that speed.
thanks-
