My accord has little power in low gears, especially when going up an incline. Still have original clutch in it. Could it be fuel filter issue or does it sound like cluth is going/gone? Manual transmission, no problems with shifting into any gear. No smells noticed.

Hi bst88,

Not likely to be the clutch unless the engine is revving and slippage is occurring.

Lack of power under load could be due to the fuel filter and/or ignition system such as spark plugs, ignition coils etc.
