1998 Honda Prelude Clutch problems shifting

When you sit still with the tranny in gear and the clutch in, is everything fine? Then if you let out the clutch will the vehicle go or does it slip? I am trying to eliminate the clutch and narrow it down to the tranny. I suspect that the clutch system is the problem and NOT the master or slave cylinder.

Yes the clutch doesnt seem to slip at all, and it shifts fine when at a stand still.

For a number of reasons I would say it is clutch time. How many miles have you got on the clutch?

Even though the clutch doesnt slip when driving? It seems like something with the clutch not disengaging.

Almost certainly a clutch problem. Post 93ish honda's use hydraulic self adjusting clutch actuation, so look to the clutch itself.

Anyway what your describing sounds like clutch drag, when the clutch does not fully disengage. How many miles are on your clutch? Is it harder to shift at high RPM? I've experienced the same thing before and i learned to double clutch in a hurry before i changed the clutch.

Typically clutch drag results from a worn diaphram spring. It can even be caused by a clutch hub spring breaking or popping loose of its retainer. Its very common for street cars, more common so than even clutch slippage id suspect.

Either way it sounds like time for a new clutch.
