bought the car for little over a month with 42k. 1st and 2nd slipped a few times, wondering if thats normal with 42k. is it worth going back to the dealer for clutch replacement a good route? if not, wat are my alternatives

thanks

 

Might be this

 

i wasnt in the vtec range though, it slipped when the car starts moving. and the clutch is really high, so im "pretty" sure the clutch is almost gone

 

put the gear on final drive at about 25-30 mph and floor it.

if the clutch slips its gone

from what i know there are different types of clutch wear, and that would be for the most part daily driving wear. the other would be if it only slipped under hard redline lke shifts

 

im shooting for the daily drive wear, but ill give it a shot tomorrow. seems like it rarely happens except when i first start the car and start moving

 

... doesn't sound like a simple "worn clutch" if that's the case. Should slip in higher gears not lower (if in some and not others).

 

didnt slip when i shift at 7k on first three gears. it only happens when i start the car. i start the car, shift to first, couple seconds after the car started moving, it goes back to neutral. wat other problems do you guys think it could be?

 

Are your saying it is popping back into neutral? If this is the case, you are either not moving the gear lever all the way into gear and it is popping out (I do this occassionally when at a stop light - BAAAAD practice!) or you have some internal transmission wear/misalignment.
