This is the third TSX forum I have visited. The reason I started seeking you all out is because I recently began hearing a strange howling/squeltching noise coming from my clutch when pulling out in 1st, mostly on an incline. This is my 4th new Acura, (2004 TSX, 6M) all of which have been manual. After chatting online, I have confirmed that other TSX owners have had the same problem. Apparently, there is a problem with the throw-out bearing. Are you having clutch problems prematurely? If so, you're in for a real B.S. deal.... My car has been at the dealer for two days now. They are still having "discussions" with Acura because the clutch isn't under warranty, and I am raising all hell. I only have 20K on it, but others have reported even less miles. If anyone has had a bad throw-out bearing replaced under warrantly, please post the name of the dealership. My dealer said it would help them make the case to ACURA. If you are having the same problem, have your dealer contact the GM at Proctor Acura in Tallahassee... It would help my cause as well! Big G

I have 2004 tsx. Recently clutch pedal creaking. Very annoying. Is this a symptom of something much worse? Anybody have advice.

I have a 2004 TSX with 36k miles on it. M/T w/ Navi. Two weeks ago, all of a sudden, my clutch started acting really weird. The pedal is very loose halfway and clutch never seems to fully engage anymore. Now, I drive fairly conservatively, and I've never had probelms with my M/T '99 Integra which was at 70k, so I don't think the clutch is worn, but the dealer is almost insisting it's the clutch without really giving my car a look and says I need to fork over $1500 to get it replaced. However I got them to admit that they've seen no other signs of abuse on my car, and that a clutch wearing out at 36k seems really really weird for a 2004 TSX. I'm suspecting a spring on the pressure plate gave out which is why it's not fully pushing the clutch into place? But honestly, I'm not a mechanic and I'm not going to pretend to be. All I know is that I don't drive hard, and I don't think that a worn clutch is the problem. Or at least, my driving did not contribute to a worn clutch. Any thoughts? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Joe

Replying to: biker4 (Jan 04, 2006 4:50 pm)  21k mi. Dealer has it now and is fixing it without argument. Meantime, I have a 06 tsx loaner. They've had it for about 5 days. I'll keep you posted.

Replying to: 05tsxowner (Feb 01, 2006 11:49 am) They also said they found some metal filings in the transmission fluid, and had to replace 1st and 6th gear sprockets. While I resent the implication that somehow I rode my clutch to the point of burning it out 21k miles, they're fixing it without argument, replacing the trans, clutch plate, and everything else. Think maybe I can talk them into keeping it and giving me another car?
