2001 Honda Prelude clutch

Hi Helpahonda,

Juddering at slow take off are usually caused by contamination to the clutch disc. There is a possibility some oil has gotten onto the disc surface.

If clutches are worn, it wuould slip when accelerating hard.

Rectification is by replacement of the clutch assy and cleaning/refacing the flywheel.

Sometimes the problem recurrs even after replacement of the clutch assy, mostly with non OEM parts but OEM parts do have such problem as well.

You can either live it till the clutch weras off and then get it replaced or take the risk of the problem recurring and go ahead with replacement of the cluth.

If there is any oil leakages from the transmission or engie, those should be rectified first as oil getting onto the clutch disc are possible causes of the juddering that you are encountering.
