- My Honda 2001 Prelude wasn't starting and I thought it would be the battery or starter but that wasn't the problem. The clutch and brake have a plastic pad that activates a switch. The clutch pedal had 2, one for the cruise control and the other one to start the car, this to make sure you press the clutch before you start.
I fixed in 15 min bro Thanks. Used a flathead screwdriver taped it to flat side removed the front seat 2-3 min. Lay down stuck the tip and wedge it in. Double check it was laying flat car start right on.
THANK YOU!!! This was exactly the problem with my 1994 Honda Prelude SI!! I wasn’t able to work the chopsticks and gave up after more than a hour of dropping the thing and missing that hole (I have NO idea how you were able to use them!) but I hope this helps somebody...I finally drilled a very small hole thru the base of the new stopper, ran some fishing line thru that hole, then strung the fishing line thru the hole hole on the clutch to ultimately pull the new stopper into place! Used a flathead screwdriver to help lock it in!! Hope this saves somebody some time and headache!! You most definitely saved me a whole bunch of money!! Mad appreciation!!
I'm glad you got it, some times it takes a little creativity, I would never though about the fishing line, great idea. Other people used double side tape at the end of screen driver. You gotta use what you have available around you. Thank you for the comment.
I had the same issue with my 2001 civic. This kit from Doorman was under $10 Part No. C7043751312DOR
Slightly different install on the civic a bit easier and no need for special tools. The white pad is the front sensor and the round black one goes on the back. Thank you so much for this video, it save me a tow and mechanic bill!
I cannot believe that worked. You totally saved me from having to pull the entire pedal apart! Thank you! I added some rubber bands to make it grip a little more and it popped right in!
Only took me 2 hours a pain in the ass what the hell but it worked thanks agian for posting the video
Thanks for the tip, I ended up using a long flat head screwdriver and taped it to the tip and jammed it in, took about 30 minutes but work liked a charm, I’m sure a mechanic would have charged a pretty penny
Thankyou brotha you not only gave me peace of mind but saved me so so much money. Again God bless
you've got to be the 1st guy in history to fix a car using chop sticks but at least it worked! I'm having the same issue w/my 04 Accord but I thought there was only 1 clutch safety switch. Didn't know there was another one in the back.
Sometimes you have to improvise, you can also use screw driver with double sided tape away the tip, good luck
Super helpful. I thought there was only one switch down low (intact), but now I know theres two, and naturally I got the pain in the a$$ one to fix. I got my chopsticks and you just saved me big money on a tow and the mechanic.
thx for this & props for being able to do this w/o taking the driver's seat out. I was not that lucky I had to take the seat out to fix this on a 97 civic
You're a genius. I've been trying to figure out how to get that piece in there forever.
Just changed that with my friend, since it's hard to hold the clutch and tried to fit that rubber, I hold the clutch down from outside with a broom stick lol and it was easier lol😅
That chopsticks trick is genius. Maybe someone should sell a kit that does that. I was all ready to try it, but as it turns out, but my clutch and brake stops/buttons were intact. It turned out that I had a corroded connection from the starter switch to the starter. Wiggled it off and on a few times and it started right up.
My boy using the chopsticks 🙌🙌 jdm af yo ! Love it 😂
I think that's the tool used to build the car
and then to eat with during lunch break
Great video. Unfortunately I seen it too late. I took the whole clutch pedal assembly out. You are a smart man.
Thanks for posting, saved me a big headache!
Wow man you're the man you really help me out and save me a lot of money much props thanks for the help man keep up the videos
You sir are a god dam genius
5 minute install
Thanks bro,. I ended up using a wire hanger and a flat head to get it in there.
Full throttle shifts are back.
Best video on the subject. Liked the video
my prelude I just bought is doing the same thing I hope this is the issue
This is what happened to my car. We thought it was a battery issue. Thankfully the battery on my car was still under warranty so we were able to replace it, and yet it turns out that wasn't the problem. Those little plastic things were the culprit! Who knew those small parts could cause the whole car to not turn on.
We tried to get that little stopper in ourselves before watching this video so we basically struggled. We used the bypass to start the car to take it to Honda to finish the job. They are saying the switch is bad, but I’m not getting confirmation that they tried positioning the clutch stop pad first. Think I’m going to need proof the stop pad didn’t fix the issue.
gracias por tu video me sirvió mucho
Thanks for the help and man u wasnt bs i bout gave up but finaly got it there ant no way to push it in with those chop sticks or need nose what i did was put a bar in between the seat and clutch pedal to hold the clutch pedal.all the way down then unscrew the sensor hold the plyers over the whole with the plastic peace and crew the sensor back in itll push in the whole then take a long flat head snap the rest of the way in and walah
gracias carnal..
ty so much
Did you actuate (push in) the clutch to press the plastic stopper into place? Nifty idea, using the wooden chopsticks!
Yes. You have to press the clutch to find the hole for the pad
Glad I came across this video was wondering why my teg wouldn’t start and put it together That plastic pieces were all over the floor lol...hope I can do it with chop sticks
That's all I had, if you have long pliers or double side tape stick it to a long flat screw driver. Good luck
@@bigbrownbull I stuck double sided 3m tape on the pad and it stuck the button but it didn’t click into the clutch pedal lol...but it works for now just hope it doesn’t fall off lol
Good idea! I was going to try needlenose pliers
Thank you, that's all I had to work with
I'm currently trying to do it in my integra, it's a much smaller area and my arms don't fit, I'm starting to give up
Is not hard, is tricky. Try removing seat
Be honest.... how many times did you drop it before you got to fit it? l would have dropped it at least 50 times lol. I had this problem today but decided to just short the connector.
I'm at 20+. It's getting late and now I'm going to try again tomorrow.
2 years later and I'm still too lazy to try the chop stick trick lol. Still riding with the shorted connector. I remembered this video because now my Dad's '00 Accord had the same problem. I will never understand why Honda didn't just use the flat metal instead of putting holes and plastic in there.
Not all hero’s wear capes !
Fixed my 95 Honda ex
I had the same problem but that hole you're showing all the way in the back I didnt put anything there. That hole all the way in the front where that little push in button is I put a penny there with tape and now my car starts.. I'm not sure about the hole in the back where u were showing I didnt even know there was another hole. So where I put my penny what the hell is that for then?? Like I said before my car didnt want to start so the hole all the way in the front I put a penny there and shit started right up. I just bought those bushing to install that instead of a penny that seems to be working just fine. Guess if nobody has 5 to 9 bucks they can do it for free with a penny and tape. I replaced the penny with the actual clutch pedal stopper from autozone.
What’s the name of that part? I’d have to get it for a 1998 Honda civic
Clutch pedal pad
You are a bad M..F😅 I can barely fit underneath there, I got the same issue going to go get some chop sticks and try it lol.
Soy de mexico disculpa los dos interruptores llevan plasticos
Si, y el del freno también
What’s that peace called
Break or clutch pedal stop pad
Took my starter out and tested it and a spare one i had. Both good. Gona grab some relays and this part and hope it works. Ill get back to you later lol.
I see that S2000 in the garage tho!!!!
Thank you Andres. I tried everything else.
You wasn't kidding... It was a pain in the ass to install a new one in my RSX lol
I didn't saw where u put it.it ddnt show
Is there, is hard to see, keep trying
Pain in the ass cant get the peice in
