I-CTDI diesel suffering symptoms of a slipping clutch The first port of call is the need to check the clutch

pedal adjustment is correct.

Incorrect setting of the clutch pedal upper stopper bolt (or cruise control switch) can mean the pedal is
partially depressed which does result in clutch slip especially when the engine is hot. On inspection if you
may find there is no clearance between the master cylinder piston and pushrod. The release bearing will
be held against the diaphragm spring, which in turn results in clutch slippage or other clutch problems.

As a thumb rule on stock unmodified accord the standard clutch will last anything between 30 to 60K
miles when it will require a change. There are a few rare instances where the clutch has lasted a 100k
barrier. This is an exception to the rule. Remapped accord tends to shred and eat their clutches at an
alarming rate so please bear this in mind.
