My clutch blew out while haulin ass.
I was near redline in 1st gear and shifted into 2nd pretty hard...I got into 2nd gear sucessfully but as I floored it the car started to shake violently...it felt like I was driving over a shit load of speed bumps. Thats when I pulled over.
It seems to have been a sudden power loss not gradual.
I had no idea that my clutch was getting old. My clutch has never slipped (or if it has I didnt realize it). The only time my gears grind is when I shift into 3rd (but I think thats just bad 3rd gear syncros). Im pretty sure its fluid from the tranny. I used OEM Honda motor oil for my tranny fluid and the fluid that leaked out looked like brand new oil...it was still golden and clean.
The only thing that disturbs me about this whole situation is the voilent shaking when the clutch blew out. It doesnt seem right that the car started shaking just because the clutch blew. Im thinking that maybe Jon is right about the axel popping out because I just had CV joint repair done on the car a week ago. Also the axel popping out would explain the violent shaking. Also what disturbs me is the leaking fluid. I must have really screwed my tranny up for the shit to be leaking out fluids. Im getting a personal friend thats a mechanic to take a quik look at it this weekend.
This shit is stressin me out...
Anyone wanna buy a perfectly good B16 CRX with a bad tranny?
