- 2020 Honda Civic 2 Door Coupe Si / 1993 Chrysler Intrepid 3.5L
No clutch - even one beat on pretty good - should fail in 300 miles. But, I honestly get the feeling so many people are killing their cars, Honda is fed up and just telling everyone TFB - you pay or it.So 3 months ago I traded in my 17 ex-t coupe for a 20 Si Sedan.
After 316 miles of light driving my clutch burned out. I know what you're thinking, but this is not my first manual. I've been driving manuals since my 1992 peugeot 106 (Google it).
I had the car towed into my local dealer and they determined that it was my responsibility for burning out the clutch..
Now mind you, this is in the middle of covid-19 and Honda declined to send out a specialist to look at the car. Rather, instead of paying the whole $2600, they're only charging me with $400 (this is also my 4th Honda in as many years, I leased a pilot and an odyssey as the fam wagon, so they where being courteous).
I know what you all are thinking, I'm an idiot that doesn't know how to drive a mani, but I promise I do, so please be easy on me. Even if I didn't drive 100% perfectly, it shouldn't die out after 300 miles! Driving instructors don't replace their clutches after 300 miles!
What else could this be?
What else should I look out for?
I have a feeling they're going to take me on a test drive when I pick up the car tomorrow, what should I pay attention to?
Anybody have similar issues?
Is there something else that would cause this issue?
There are many complaints about premature clutch failure Honda has refused to cover under warranty because it's technically a wear item.
