#3 of 93 A Surprising Update by tmckinne1 Nov 18, 2003 (1:38 pm)
Hillside Acura Service in Bayshore, NY called today and confirmed that it was blown clutch. They told me that the WILL NOT cover the repair at ALL. They said that obviously the clutch was blown by a long period of shifting neglect. Never mind that this is the third stickshift that I have had over the years and the car was taken for scheduled maintenance in October and checked out fine. This is totally UNBELIEVABLE. I am so angry at this point that I could strangle someone.

Don't strangle anyone! I'm not telling you what to do, but I have 130,000 miles on my old car's clutch and transmission and if they pulled this one on me, I'd call a lawyer first thing!

I talked a district manager at Acura Customer Care who instructed the dealership to fix the problem under the warranty. The service manager said the car should be ready in about a week.Thank you for all the input and support.

your dealer has some nerve pulling that crap with you.

Anyone have an audible click when they depress their clutch? Last night I drove for the first time without my radio on and noticed it - so I'm not sure if this has been happening all along.
#8 of 93 Replaced clutch? by phkck Jan 05, 2005 (3:36 pm)
Did I miss any subsequent posts from the person on this forum who had the clutch go out at 9 or 10,000 miles? Just curious about his experience and cost.

I've had my '04 TSX since last jan. and it has about 16,000 miles on it. last week, my clutch started to stick and when i took it into the dealer this morning, they said it could be "wear and tear" or a manufacturer's defect but it needs to be replaced either way...has anyone else had their clutch go out after 1yr/16000 miles???

Replying to: shadnum2 (Feb 07, 2005 1:40 pm) so the dealer got back to me on my clutch problem and they said that it was worn out??? after 16,000 miles and only a year? i don't believe that i should have to cover an expense as big as this soo freakin' soon, especially when the rest of the car is in perfect condition and i had a major service done on it at 10,000 miles in which they told me everything was fine!

Replying to: shadnum2 (Feb 08, 2005 6:39 pm) If I were you, I wouldn't rest until Acura paid for it. Even if you learned to drive manual on it, there is no way it should be dead already unless there was a defect. Two examples...   My friend's '91 Acura Legend, new cluch after 170k miles   My girlfriend's '93 Toyota Celica, still original after 105k miles and 3 people learning manual on it.
