  1. Problems & Issues
    I recently replaced my master cylinder. Everything went smooth. And the system is working I can shift just fine. The problem is as I shift the pedal stays closer and closer to the floor instead of fully coming up. I can lift the pedal up fully with my foot and the system maintains the pressure...
  2. Problems & Issues
    So I got a new clutch, when driving home I noticed to engage the the clutch and shift gears the pedal had to be nearly fully depressed as if I barely was touching the clutch pedal, I took it back and told them the clutch should engage midway not at the very top of the pedal. They changed it the...

    I recently bought an 05 EX with a manual trans. It has 139K miles, was owned since new by one family, and looks to have been well maintained. The seller told me his repair shop advised him that it needs a new clutch. I've been driving it on and off for a few weeks and the shifter always feels a...

    I just bought a 2005 EX AWD 5 speed with 93000 miles on it. Got it from a really good reputable Honda dealership here in Mass. Test drove it twice. Drove good. Didn’t notice any real issues. Take it home. The next day go to work and get stuck in traffic. Then I notice as I’m starting to pull...

    Tonight when trying to move the car to move a trailer, the transmission failed me. I was not able to put the car into any gear including reverse. When the car was off it would shift normally, however if i started the car while it was in gear I could not get out of gear, and it would lug as if...
  6. Problems & Issues
    Anyone had a catastrophic clutch fluid leak when it gets really cold? I went to leave work today, and when I pressed in on the clutch, it never came back up from the floor. There is quite a bit of fluid on the ground. Anyone have a guess? Internal or external leak?
  7. Under The Hood / Performance
    I don't have any problems actually shifting into or out of gears, but my shifter in my 04 EX seems kind of loose; I can feel it "click" once or twice when I throw it into gear. Do any of the shifter or linkage bushings wear easily? Part numbers or diagrams?
  8. Problems & Issues
    Hello everyone. My clutch stopped returning periodically about a month ago. No noticeable noise, just needed to pull the clutch up to again depress it and change gears. No leakage from the slave cylinder. I continued to drive the vehicle until today, when it got much worse. Noise from the...
  9. Problems & Issues
    I see lots of threads but it seems everyone has a slightly different problem. In the morning, before it's too hot outside, my AC works fine. Freon pressure is good. Later in the day as I drive, the AC will go out. If I look under the hood, the clutch on the compressor is still. If it cools off...

    when engine is running, i depress the peddle and It will not go into gear. Won't let me. My wife's E has 230,000 miles on her and has been running good and strong until today. Now down to what I do know. Turn engine off and put the tranny in 1st (same in all gears) depress clutch peddle...
  11. Problems & Issues
    Hello all! New poster (be gentle with me...). I have a 04 E, 5MT with 160K. I just put a new clutch in it and not 1 hour drive time later got a P0141 code. Seems AWFULLY coincidental that a car can go 160K and never pop a code and then less than 1 hour after clutch install... BAM. Thoughts? Are...

    My continent spanning 2003 EX with 218,000 miles needs its first serious work and I don't know a single mechanic who won't charge a fortune. I have that issue (as discussed here http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54950) with not being able to get into gear unless the car...

    I currently own a 2007 E that is an Automatic. Looking to buy another one that is older but a manuel. Is there a certain milage I should be aware of that they usually need a new clutch put in? Also what kind of price are you looking at to get a clutch put in an E? Anyone that has a 2003-2006...
  14. Maintenance and Service
    Hey EOC, My PS [poor sister] had her slave cylinder replaced and it is now leaking again. It looks like the leak is coming from the FITTING between the steel line and the slave cylinder itself. The 'brake' line nut attaches firmly to the fitting, but the fitting is loose and leaking at the...
  15. Problems & Issues
    Hi, I recently purchased a used 2005 Honda Element EX 4wd, manual with 63,000 miles. I had the Honda dealer give it the once over before I bought it and it checked out great. It is a good car so far, have put about 2500 mixed miles on it, city, highway, dirt and gravel. I have noticed that...
  16. Problems & Issues
    I bought my 2004 Element less than 6 months ago, from a Honda dealership, and have put less than 2500 miles on it. The problem doesn't start until it has been driven for about 20-30 minutes. The clutch will not go into gear or will pop out while driving. It's at a different dealership for an...
  17. Problems & Issues
    Hi all, I've had my E for almost 2 years now, and for the past few months or so, I've noticed that it has been occasionally fighting me when I try to put it into first gear; doesn't matter if I'm still moving or at a complete stop. It doesn't do it all the time, and I can't seem to find a...
  18. Problems & Issues
    I have a 2005 EX with almost 200k highway miles with a manual transmission. Very recently, within the last 3-4 times I drove the vehicle, the car was difficult to put into gear, but then operated normally. Today, I could not put the vehicle into any gear. After reading some forums, the hydraulic...

    2004 Element 5 speed and the the clutch must be pressed all the way to the firewall to engage the clutch and it seems to be fully disengaged when letting it out a mere 1/4 inch. How do I adjust the clutch throw so that it's more normal? At times it can be difficult getting it into gear unless...
  20. Problems & Issues
    Six months back, the clutch pedal was feeling awfully weird underfoot. Owner's Manual told me to check the hydraulic fluid level, which was way low. Filled it with DOT3 and forgot it. Today, sitting at a stop light in downtown Houston, with clutch pedal to the floor, but she wouldn't stop...
