Bad Day Driving

I pressed clutch and accelerate at the same time for less than 5 second unaware. No I didn't smell anything but I just came back from the mall, the car still drive alright. I feel yesterday I truly abused my car, when my car is standing idling you can hardly hear it. Yesterday I just turn the key while the car is idling. So all in all I did three mistakes :-(

R10000 is very expensive, especially for a Brio, problem is the chances of finding the clutch kit anywhere else besides Honda is very low, my colleague struggled to get one for a Jazz until he relented and played a fortune at Honda.

Easy to see if your clutch is damaged, you need to take precautions because I feel that the Brio is one of those cars which will just give up on you without any warning. I drove with mine on a Corsa lite for two weeks before I took it to the work shop, but on my 1.0 l Yaris the car just died on me on the road and could not go further, no grace period , nothing it just died like that.

My friend's sister drive VW Polo Vivo her clutch died just like that, she had to tow it back home and organize the money for the clutch.

So if a clutch is tear and wear its cheap anyone who does not mind can educate me about clutch. I'll try to read about it on Google.

Honda are nice to drive but bit expensive I have not replaced anything so far but I usually phone around to ask, about their prices Lord Jesus Christ seat covers cost R1640. 00.

You can relax, as long as you the said abuse is not frequent, it will be fine.

Usually on most cars you can feel the clutch going, the clutch pedal rises, you feel the clutch slipping, mostly on inclines when your car is revving high buy you aren't accelerating, the revs will change as the clutch slips, audibly so. Now on the Yaris that I alluded to earlier, the car was fine on my way to work and on my way back the car just moved a few meters from the stop sign and suddenly it was no longer pulling, just like that, maybe I did not take notice of the change and signs but it was not something I experienced before.
 
Ramo methinks it will be easier on your car if you walk.
