Are there any tell tale signs because I have a feeling mine is about to pack up.
 
is it slipping whilst in gear? (rev's will appear to jump about the place)
and the biting point on the clutch - is it low or high?
 
Just the usual:
Slipping
Juddering
Stif pedal
High biting point.

What makes u feel its on the way out?
 
No slipping seems to go into gear really easy when driving. Also biting point is high. Felt like the pedal was right up when doing a hill start.
 
If your at high milage on an oem clutch id say you will have to replace it. Unless you can live with it untill it starts slipping. Up to you mate it is a sign of the clutch wearing but no way to be certain without physically checking it at wich point you might aswell replace it regardless.
 
Good chance master cylinder seals failing and leaking fluid inside car. Check level.

Get the car into 4th gear, and try to accelerate up a hill, if the clutch slips it needs replacing,
Could also try pulling away with the handbrake up.

It's on 94k now going to get a new clutch priced up hopefully won't cost to much.
 
Yeh thats about right, probably get it cheaper at some small garage, but get it done at honda for that
 
That price is a small garage using genuine Honda parts. Just been on tegiwa website and they selling a exedy clutch kit for £150. Would this be suitable for my car?
 
5-600 is a bit pricy tbh. Genuine honda clutches can be had for around 170 from hendy performance iirc. Not that hard to replace so looking at a couple of hours labour maybe.
 
£500-£600 is madness to replace a clutch IMO mate! Do some more shopping about before you get ripped off :(
As said You'll get a Honda clutch for around £200, no way should it cost you £300-400 to get it fitted!
 
Just bought a exedy clutch from tegiwa for £150. I would of preferred a Honda clutch but getting married in September so need every spare penny I can.
 
The Exedy clutch will be just fine mate, there is no real difference between the two. I even think Exedy makes the OEM clutches for Honda or something along those lines.
