civic fd nag amoy clutch/brake fluid habang natraffic sa hanging. need advice po sirs

[kombalweg]

sirs, on my way to mandaluyong from baclaran, i took the route sa likod ng rob pioneer may hanging part dun na medyo matarik hindi ko pa masyado gamay ung civic manual timpla-timpla lang ung gas at clutch i seldom step on the brake habang nasa traffic medyo puno kami so madiin ung rev ko. by the time na nasa taas na kami nangamoy clutch/brake fluid ung civic ko tapos for 1 time nawalan ng kagat ung clutch. ano kaya naging problem mga sir? kelangan ko ba dalhin sa service center to check on the clutch kit or something? thanks for reading and comments.

You probably overheated the clutch.

Potential problems:
-premature wear
-potential glazing of the clutch surface

If the clutch acts normal, you're fine.

thanks sir, btw, nung nasa mandaluyong na ako pinahinga ko muna ung civic for about 2 hours tapos i head to greenhills, sa parking sa tapat ng promenade sa taas medyo traffic ulit paakyat pero mga 2 stops lang naman, nangamoy ulit ung clutch but the clutch acts normal naman. im just worried about the clutch smell baka my problem na kelangan maagapan agad. should i have it checked sir or ok lang ung clutch. thanks thanks

You need to practice your clutch work. "Hanging" is actually one of the bad things you can do to your car as it will overheat the clutch. They show that in driving school to merely teach the concept. It's not meant to be done regularly.

While stopped at an incline longer than several seconds, use the brake or handbrake to hold the vehicle steady, not the clutch.

i agree sir to be honest, i've been driving since 1995 back then till this year, toyota lang nahawakan ko. having acquired civic fd manual last few months, nahihirapan ako mag adjust sa timpla-timpla. my difference ba talaga manual driving ng toyota at honda o ako lang naninibago? nevertheless, ur right sir i have no choice but to master the clutch work esp hanging situations. thanks

Based from your post - I'd say it's clutch-driving that caused it. You mentioned bihira ka kasi mag-brakes and di mo pa gamay ang timpla PLUS mataas revs mo pag-drive kasi puno, a good scenario for your clutch to overheat IMO as GH said.

Practice lang yan. Lusot naman yan usually kung first time pero pag madalas na expect to have parts replaced as a consequence.

Enjoy driving bro.
