The clutch on my 2004 Honda Accord finally gave out this weekend. Annoying, since it’s been sitting for months because the alternator died and I just replaced it and got it running again a couple of weeks ago, but it happens. I knew it was going to go out eventually.
I’m relatively new to the space, and haven’t been able to get through the automotive shop to get signed on the equipment like the lift yet. Would it be possible to arrange to meet up with someone from the committee (or otherwise qualified) to get signed off on any tools I need sometime soon? I can definitely compensate for the time.
Also, any advice on the repair is welcome. I have quite a bit of experience through my life as a mechanic (helicopters, forklifts, tractor trailers, machinery, etc), but haven’t done a ton of work on cars. I’m comfortable with it with the right tools and instructions/references, and I have a friend who also has some experience who’ll be helping me out. I wanted to check that doing the clutch replacement would be something I would conceivably be able to do in the space. I’d like to if it’s possible, to save myself some money, and get an opportunity to get hands-on with my car, which I always appreciate.
