Ok, here's what I`m really interested in knowing:
Suspension Question:
While driving my Honda Prelude (89) on highway 401 (Ontario, Canada), at a normal speed 120Km/H), there is one long stretch of "gutted" or rutted highway in the left hand lane. For all of you that know this stretch that starts in Whitby heading westbound, you might be able to relate. Anyway, while driving in this lane, my car gets very upset while driving over these dips (they are basically, two dips in the road where so much traffic has gone through, and both of your tires on either side of the car will dip into them). More so then other cars. I have driven, a Civic, Transport minivan, Caravan, and a Mazda Miatia through the same section, without nearly as much violence. My Prelude gets tosed around and if you don`t have both hands on the wheel, then you would end up kissing the median or something.
Any idea what would cause this? I know my suspension original, and might be biting the dust, but this is where it really is noticable. My tires on the front are a couple of months old.
Clutch question:
I`m curious as to the best way or indication that it's time to replace the clutch in the car. Here are some of the symptons I have been experiencing:
-Stop and go traffic on the highway, the pedal sticks and I have put my foot under the clutch pedal to bring it back up.
-It feels a tad bit rough. You have to be very gentle. Although, it still bites half-decently.
I know the lifeline for most clutches in Honda's is 150,000km... we have passed that mark. So I`m not quite sure if it's necessary yet. I mean, I know what it's like when a clutch totally bites the dust. All I`m interested in, is the signs that it is going hit the end of the road soon.
