1998 prelude sh @158ks
Recently developed a shuddering/slow vibration feel during 2nd gear acceleration. It's not prominent in other gears but 2nd especially with a heavy foot it will shudder until about 3000rpm and will disappear.
When I switch to second. Accelerate slowly then the shudder is almost invisible. This happens on straight or turns. Clutch was replaced at 96k with an aftermarket exedy clutch. The car has been brought to a shop and drive shafts replaced. Problem is still there. They also pointed out one wheel had a bend. Wheel was replaced. Still there.
At highway speeds the car is smooth and quiet. The shop ran out of ideas. They could not justify a problem with tranny or clutch as everything works as it should.
2nd issue that recently happened which I don't think is related to the Prev problem is the clutch pedal sticking to the floor after long drives. It will return after awhile. Reservoir is full but fluid is dirty. I'm having the master replaced this Thursday.
Speaking with Honda and a few other shops. Some mentioned clutch and one mentioned an early symptom of tranny failure. I'm gonna drop by Honda for a test drive soon but has anyone experienced this? Anything similar? Insights or teoubleshooting?
My initial guess is a bad clutch or install. I don't want to replace the clutch if nor necessary and I surely don't wanna be cond into remanning the transmission.
Anything helps !
