Water Leakages And Wierd Vibration When Clutch Is Engaged.

[eMsta]

Hi Guys,

My baby is getting wierder and wierder. For the most she drives well, but last night whilst coming back from work something strange happened. The engine was warmed up - i let it warm up for a good 7 minutes before i started driving. But when the lights turned green, I tried to take off (not pushing her hard, but not soft either), and it started to vibrate. Almost felt as if it was the clutch/drive line that was not engaging. Alternatively, it could be the brakes, because I had this problem in my old accord. Any Idea what It could be? It only happend that once last nite, but I do recall it happening before - just that it wasnt as bad as last night.

The other thing is, my rear indicators are condensing, and leaking like anything. I have ordered new lights from japan - but thats only for the left rear - as there was a crack. The right side is leaking too and I dont know from where. What can I do about this? In addition to this - water seems to leak into the trunk too. Again, I am not sure where this is leaking from - but its worrying as the last thing I want is rust.

I need some advice as to what I can do. I can take it to the dealer, but I was thinking of doing all that, when I go to get my lights. Should I wait till then, or should I go asap?

Thanks guys!

water usually leaks into the boot through a broken seal on the tail lights. to fix, just remove the tail-lights and put some silicon sealant around where the original sealent is (the gooey black stuff), and put it back, this should fix it.

don't bother taking it to a dealer, just a mechanic would be fine. Not too sure on the clutch problem, but i can imagine a warped flywheel or farked clutch could cause what you describe

There isn't any possibility that you started in 3rd is there? My gf learnt manual in my car not long ago, and it makes that shuddering and vibrating noise when the gear is too high for what you are doing.

I have seen the water leak fixed with Merlin's suggestion, that's the simplest option to take.
