How do you replace the clutch on a Honda Accord?
You first buy a shop manual. A Haynes or Chilton's repair manual are found easily. Go to the section in the manual on replacing the clutch. Look around on the internet for shop manuals. You just might find some free information. I did. All of the information you will need is in the manual. Its way to much information to write in this section. You will need to buy your clutch plate, friction disc & throw out bearing. Also the pilot tool to line it up before you tighten the bolts. The manual is only $20, you need the manual to do service on your car. I have the original Honda service manual. Its a little expensive but for the person who wants the most accurate knowledge, its a no-brainer. When you have the oem Honda manual you have the right knowledge. You can get by with a Chilton's or Haynes manual. I am a firm believer in oem parts and oem manuals. If you bought a Honda why put parts on it that are inferior to the craftsmanship that you wanted in the first place. Order your parts from Majestic Honda online and you will get oem parts at wholesale price. I order my parts from Majestic Honda and the prices are as cheap as the other after market stores. The amount of work that is required to replace the clutch is intense. This is a part that should be an OEM , original equipment part. If you want that thick friction plate go with Honda parts. The after market part is not as thick as the Honda friction plate. If you have the skills and the time, go forth. If you are not into hard work then take it to a shop that does reputable work.You can get this done in most shops for about a grand. The Honda dealer might take you to the cleaners on this one. I would look for a shop that has a reputation for working on Honda cars. If you can afford it the Honda dealer is no doubt the place to go. During hard times the dealer will give you a good deal. In most situations a smaller town will give you better prices than a large city.
I always look on the out skirts of the city for a shop that's clean and organized. You have to check with the locals and you will find these shops that are sometimes behind a persons house. Some retired or working Honda techs will do work on the side. I look for the Honda tech that is working to come by my house to do work after work or on the weekend. Then you can get expert service at a super discount price. If you can't get a working Honda tech then look for a retired one. They are out there you just have to look hard. Don't fall for the cheap price from the shade tree mechanic. You will pay a higher price in the long run. This job is intense. You will hear people say that's its easy. Don't believe them. It's easy if you do it daily. (transmission specialist) Just replacing the fluid is critical. Low fluid and your transmission is over. Checking all of the components to see if they can reused is very important. (fly wheel resurfacing) A shade tree mechanic will not check everything. He gave you a super low price and your work will in most cases reflect the money that you will pay him. Go with the shop that has the reputation for quality work. The lowest price is generally the worst choice. (not always but generally) Try to find the mechanic that works on transmissions only for this job. Although any good mechanic can do this, a person who only does transmission work can do a better job. That's why you get your brain fixed by a neuro doctor instead of the family doctor. This is a job you don't want to go back into. When a shade tree mechanic breaks a part on your car your price will go up to the price you would have paid at the Honda dealer. High end jobs need a mechanic will good work skills. The site of the work place is generally a good indicator for how your job will look once you get on that dark highway.
In summary, the right wheel knuckle must be removed so the right CV axel can come out. The subframe, exhaust, starter, transmission mount, and linkage must all be removed, in order to remove the transmission and finally clutch. Remember this job is labor intensive because the transmission must be removed, and some specialty tools are required, such as a transmission jack or cherry picker (hoist) along with a tie rod end seperater.

How do you adjust a clutch in a 1987 peterbilt?
Remove the inspection cover, have someone bump the engine over until the adjusting nut appears. have someone hold the clutch fully depressed, tighten the adjusting nut a little at a time, check the pedal for correct freeplay. Some clutches have a push type lock tab like a slack adjuster, some have a lock tab bolted on to hold the adjusting nut, some are not adjustable. good luck
How do you replace the fan clutch in a 1996 ford crown Victoria?
With the rad. shroud off, you will have to use something to hold down the clutch and crack the bolts. There are 2 8mm bolts holding the shroud on. The lower rad hose goes over part of the shroud, I broke the tip off on mine, but it's no big deal. The clutch fan bolt turns counter clockwise. It's easier to leave the fan attached to the clutch when you remove, and then put the fan on the new clutch while it's out.

Why does my 1999 GMC Jimmy ac compressor clutch engages and then releases?
The A/C clutch engages and disengeges when the pressure in the system is too low. The most likely cause is that it needs to be recharged. If you recharge the system, make sure to use R134a and purchase at least a small pressure gauge. You can also purchase a hose that lets you fill the system right from the small cans of refrigerant. All of this can be purchased at your local auto parts store.

How do you adjust the clutch in a 1996 Mazda B2300?
these new clutches dont really have an adjustment per se but you can adjust the pedal travel to gain some time before replacement is necessary. At the floorboard where the clutch pedal is connected to the master cylinder there is a long threaded bolt through a bracket with 2 nuts on it.Move the nuts toward the end of the bolt and you will activate the clutch earlier in the pedal push. This is only for temporary help, it may not help at all depending on the condition of the clutch disk, be prepared to replace it very soon.
How do you adjust your clutch cable on a Honda dream?
loosen or tighten the nut at the bottem of the cable on the engine until there is less then 1/4 inch of play between the clutch lever and the part that attaches the lever to the handlebars, this can also be done with the finger adjuster on the lever if it is not worn too bad. Hope this helps
How do you shift gears on a motorcycle without a clutch?
To shift the gears on a motorcycle there is something important you should learn from the service manual and that is just exactly how many gears your bike has. Most bikes have either 4 or 5 gears. Modern Sports Bikes have 6 gears.
First put the bike in neutral, it is half way in between 1st and 2nd gear. Squeeze the clutch ( found on left handle bar) before trying to shift. You will know you are in neutral if a green light is showing on your gauges or if the bike rolls freely with the clutch out. Once in neutral you can start the bike, but keep the clutch in. According to your bikes shift pattern (Standard or GP Shift) you then shift into 1st gear by pushing the shift pedal up or down. Slowly let out the clutch while simultaneously increasing your RPM's with the throttle. The bike should start moving forward and as it does, release the clutch completely, but stay on the throttle. Once the bike is moving you can roll on the throttle to increase speed. As your RPM's increase you will need to shift into a higher gear; to do this you will need to squeeze the clutch in again. Then according to your bikes shift pattern, go to the next highest gear. Now release the clutch and roll on the throttle. To down shift you squeeze the clutch and shift to the next lowest gear, release the clutch. Be sure to match your RPM's to the wheel speed on a downshift or your rear tire can lock up resulting in a skid or worse, a low-side.
There are currently two shift patterns on modern motorcycles, standard and gp. Standard shift is well...standard, it will be found on most motorcyles. GP shift refers to the shift pattern used by professional racers. GP shift is reversed so that a rider does not have his foot under the shift pedal when needing to up-shift in a corner, it also makes for faster up-shifts. GP shift is primarily found on sports bikes and bikes intended for use on the track, but most sport bikes come with standard shift from the factory.
Shift patterns are set up as follows...
- Standard Shift (starting from neutral):
First gear is down 1
Neutral is up one and it is indicated by a green light on your bikes gauges. If you are not sure you are in Neutral ~ it is the only time when your bike will freely roll backwards when the clutch is not engaged.
Gears 2 ~ 4/5/6 are all up.
- GP or Reverse Shift (starting from neutral):
First gear is up 1
Neutral is down 1 and will likewise be indicated by a green light on your gauges.
Gear 2-6 are all down
Shifting gears on a motorcycle may seem awkward at first, but try it a few times in your garage or drive way with the bike off. Roll on the the throttle and practice using the clutch to shift up and down. If while riding you start going to fast or you feel as if you are not in control, pull in the clutch to disengage the engine from moving the rear wheel and apply brakes accordingly. Within a short time shifting through the gears will be second nature.
Ride Safe.
All good advise - but -
Firstly, and really, and I mean REALLY IMPORTANT thing to do before you even sit on your bike.
BOOK YOURSELF SOME TRAINING and use the training school bike to learn to ride in a safe environment.
Second important thing to do - GET SOME GOOD GEAR AND WEAR A HELMET. Your body, mother, father, wife, sister or brother will appreciate it ;)
Thirdly, and this is important, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE in an empty car park.
If you are going to ride a sport bike (OK crotch rocket) PLEASE take a track course and learn how to ride safe. Coming off a fast bike in uncontrolled circumstances is a life altering experience. RIDE SAFE.
I've been riding motorcycles for 30 years and I'm still learning. Changing gear is only one of the dark elements of riding bikes that you will have to learn, but don't worry, you will learn quickly.
Good luck and keep the rubberside down
