Q: Have 93 accord 5 speed. Won't crank and gear shift moves into gears without pressing clutch. All lights and battery is good. Thx
Car was driving and shifting fine until this morning when I attempted to crank it. To crank, clutch must normally be pressed but prior to start shifter will move into all gears without the clutch being pressed and holding down clutch isn't enabling me to crank it anymore, almost as if clutch isn't even there. It has to be a clutch issue but it's never slipped or given any problems before. Thanks
My car has 180000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
