Clutch problems

HONDA ACCORD

1995 honda accord 240,000 km needs the clutch serviced. You have to press the pedal 90% the way until the clutch is disengaged. I don't think I have to replace the friction disc because the previous owner replaced it a month before I got it and I don't know if he replaced the pressure plate and release bearing at the same time. I don't know if the pedal needs to be adjusted or if the clutch was assembled poorly.

The way it should be done once you drop that tranny down does it all
No one wants to do job twice
If you want to do it replace all and have the flywheel resurface
It will last you the life of the car

I'm not sure if you have hyd. Or cable. I think it's cable. So look for it on top of the transmition. It should have a plastic kind of nut. And if it's hyd. No adj.
