Sounds like the clutch is slipping. 100K, not too bad. When you get your new one , be sure they install NEW clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing and pilot bearing(if applicable) some Hondas dont ahve the pilot brng. Dont let them talk you into remanufactured parts for less money, not worth it.
