The belt seems fairly tight when I push on it...but it does have *some* give. Guess it's going to need replacement when I do the timing belt this summer too.
 
I don't know why I even considered the timing belt...duh..it has cogs. That children is what we call a brain fart! xD

92 LX Accord by automoron

This past week I took my 92 LX into the dealer for what I thought was a clutch problem. It has 181K miles and I was told a while back that the clutch would soon need to be replaced. About a week ago it began to be difficult driving at low RPMs between 2 and 2.3K without the car shaking. It was more of a problem in the lower gears.
 
I might have made the mistake of telling the Honda service department that it was a clutch problem. They replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders and the clutch, but the problem came back after driving 5 miles after picking the car up. Now the problem is in every gear from second to fifth. When I drive at about 2K RPM and try to accelerate (even without flooring), the car starts to shake.
 
Could this problem be that the new clutch needs to be adjusted, or is it another problem? Could it be that it needs a simple tune up? I noticed when I got the invoice that "tune up kit" was listed in the long list of recommendations by the tech. I was never told this by the service rep. I just plunked $2300 on the table for the clutch, front engine seal leak (timing belt and water pump replacement while they're at it), and new battery cables. In addition, I am replacing the radiator myself today. Needless to say, I was less than happy when the car started shaking on the way home!!

I suspect you have broken motor/transmission mounts, but please, get them checked out first.

Thanks for the info (I think). That sounds serious, what are we talking pricewise if that's the problem .

I have no idea how much the labor would be, but you can get some reasonable prices from this web-site.

Thanks for all your help, elroy5! I will have the service dept check it out next week (since I already paid for them to find what was causing this).

I will put in a second prop for that website. They have the exploded views for all the parts catalogs for this generation Accord. Its very helpful in debugging, trying to figure out what part is actually broken, etc. They also carry a lot of the stupid interior components (one of my doors lost the little lens for the light and they had it...).
Their parts pricing is great, but their shipping and handling costs are slightly out of pace with the modern online retailers.

When I received some brake pads from Majestic, the paste packet was smashed, and the paste was all over the pads (what a mess ). HandA now sells the pads, and I have nothing but good experience with their shipping, so I will only use Majestic as a last resort now. Majestic does have just about any part you could want though. Wish HandA would start selling replacement parts as well as maintenance items.
