Car did not go into any of the gears freely. The culprit was a poorly designed clutch disc. The springs on the disc popped out of the disc resulting in clutch failure.

problem #1

May 212003

Prelude 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 44,527 miles
Spring cages on stock clutch failed, causing clutch to fail to disengage reliably. This prevented shifting out of, and into gear. There was no prior indication of oncoming failure. The other 3 of 4 spring perches around the clutch hub showed signs of eminenent failure as well.
