    Honda Civic: How to bleed a clutch
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 6 September 2018

    Bleeding a clutch system involves purging the hydraulic system that operates the clutch slave cylinder, replacing the old fluid with fresh fluid. This is an important piece of maintenance to do as the fluid breaks down over time, or air bubbles can appear in the system, causing problems actuating the clutch. Bleeding these systems isn't a job for an amateur as they involve corrosive fluids and specific techniques that, if done incorrectly, can cause significant damage.

    It is far better to get a qualified mechanic or dealership to bleed your clutch system for you.

    Is the Honda Civic front wheel drive or all wheel drive?
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 24 August 2018

    Honda's Civic is a mainstay of the front wheel drive layout. While there are 4 wheel drive vehicles based on the Civic Honda do not offer a 4 wheel drive Civic model.

    Ford Focus 2012: Is it good on the highway?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 23 March 2017

    The Focus is a good car with a serious flaw; it has a dual-clutch automatic transmission that gives trouble. I would happily have a 2012 Focus with a manual gearbox, but I wouldn't buy one with a dual-clutch auto. I'd be looking at a Japanese or Korean brand and going for something like a Mazda 3, Honda Civic or Accord, Hyundai Elantra with a good record of reliability.

    Transmission problem with Civic
    Answered by Paul Gover · 4 May 2015

    Those symptoms definitely point to something amiss in the auto, so head to a transmission specialist. You'll get expert service and it's also likely to be cheaper than at a Honda dealer.
