Clutch Pedal Creaking by newt2

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

I know exactly the sound and feel you are talking about. I had the same problem. First the dealer put lubricant on some sort of "fitting" on the clutch cable. This worked for about a week. The dealer has ordered a new clutch cable and is changing the entire thing.

Has anyone gotten this fixed?? I'm going in for my 3rd try.. They've lubed it (worked for about 3 days) and then replaced the entire clutch assembly. About a week later--creak, creak, creak.... I love the car but am tempted to trade it in on an automatic... Oh, and don't get me started on my window problems.. I'll find the appropriate post to complain about those.. Oh! and its a 2004 TSX..

TSX Clutch gives out at 36k by joekwon

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!

If something happened all of sudden it can't be a wear thing since that usually is a gradual thing. Try to be firm but don't argue with the dealer. You probably are right about the spring. A broken spring on a 2 year car should be covered by warranty - it's not a wear item. Get Acura HQ involved if the dealer won't budge.

Same thing happened to my 05 tsx 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.

Dealership says that they'll replace my trans, but that there is extreme clutch wear.
 
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?

I think since they're doing you right by completely replacing your tranny, clutch plate, etc, there's little chance they'll give you a new car instead.
 
After all the work is done, the drivetrain should be close to as good as new.

I had a BMW 525 that had a transmission electrical failure at 1,200 miles. No, they didn't repalce the entire car, just the transmission. The rest of the car was perfect for 90k+ miles after that.
 
You need a new transmission and clutch system. Why on earth would you need a whole new car??
