2001 Honda Accord very slow acceleration-high rpm Sign In

Year: 2001
Make: Honda
Model: Accord LX coupe
Engine size: 2.3L
Milage: 150,000

Over the last 3 months, my car would have high rpms with slow acceleration. For example, I would be driving on the highway and would switch gears from 3rd to 4th. After I release the clutch, I press the accelerator, the rpms go up, but I would not speed up. A few seconds later, my car would slowly accelerate as if it suddenly decided to.

As of this morning, I put my car into 1st gear and my max speed is 10mph. I can't make it up hills. Same thing, high rpm - slow acceleration.

2 months ago, I had the clutch master cylinder replaced. (That's what the shop said I needed). Problem was slightly better at first, but the same thing kept happening.

Thanks for your help!

Tito

You have a burned out clutch that you should have stopped driving 3 months ago. You will likely need a new flywheel now also.

Clutch was replaced and flywheel resurfaced. All is good with my car. Thanks for the help. By the way, total cost was $800.
