Honda: 94 Accord LX 5 spd. - Clutch problem

Just curious: If a Honda dealer "can't solve" the problem with all his
probably ASE-certified mechanics actually having the car to look at,
test and work on -- after "several visits" even -- what makes you
think anyone HERE can, via long distance and sight-unseen?

If said dealer IS 100% incompetent, drive to the NEXT nearest dealer
-- in town or out -- and get a second opinion.

True enough.
If it was my car, I'd be replacing the slave cylinder, though.
I doubt the dealer is replicating the "client fault conditions."

Your comment is very reasonable. However, let me give you some explanation:

First, the model car exactly like mine was never sold in the Spanish market,
and the dealer here is not as familiar with it. It's a US-made model.
There's probably not much difference in the clutch system from the Accord
models sold here in the same year, but who knows. The Accord models are
certainly not identical.

Then, the dealer has been graceful enough to not charge me anything on the
last two repair attemps. I know that it may get to the point where I will
have to find some other dealer in the area, but they will charge me for sure
whatever they do. And the present dealer are nice folks and have worked very
competently on my car until now, so I did not want to jump into someone else
until I have no other alternative.

I was thinking that perhaps someone in this forum had had a similar problem
before, and could give me a hint that I could pass on to the dealer. I know
it's a long shot, but thanks anyhow.

I'll make sure that the slave cylinder is looked at or better yet replaced.

Thanks for the advice !

grab a flashlight and look under the dash at the firewall by the
clutch pedal, there you will see the clutch mast rod. does it have
nasty goo around the bottom? replace the master and slave. if one
is going the other is not far behind. while they have the slave off,
have them remove the fork boot and lube the fork pivot.
