My car won't accelerate past 20 mph but the motor is reving?
I have a 2002 Honda Civic and when I try to accelerate past 20 mph it won't go anymore even when I hit 6 rm, doesn't happen at first but when I stop and try to accelerate past 20 again it won't accelerate anymore but when the car is first started it will.
Slipping clutch.
Yes,
motor will be reving
The clutch is shot.
Well if the motor is revving, but the wheels aren't turning you've got to to ask yourself what is between them: clutch, transmission, cv joints… Assuming that the driveshafts or wheels haven't fallen off, that leaves the clutch/transmission.
New clutch needed.
Assuming it's a standard transmission, the clutch is shot. Depending on how you drive the clutch needs to be replaced every 35,000 to 50,000 miles.
Time for a rebuilt transmission.
Manual- clutch is shot. Automatic- too bad, too bad, that generation got a bunch of lemon transmissions that fail every 30,000 miles. You can have it rebuilt, but the problem still recurs the next 30,000 miles. Lookee here:

TRANS TYPE! If MANUAL a bad CLUTCH! IF AUTOMATIC same answer but MORE expensive! CHANGE TRANS FLUID! Have THROTTLE BODY and IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE cleaned up to SHOWROOM! POWER FLUSH your brake and CLUTCH fluid with FRESH factory ONLY fluid from HONDA! BRAKE and CLUTCH fluids are ONLY good for 2-3 years tops on ANY car! Then it tuns into GOO< TOXIC WASTE and WATER LOGGED tar! It MUST be POWER FLUSHED every 2-3 years unless using NEWER SYNTHETIC EUROPEAN or JAPANESE fluids!<<<MANY PEOPLE even PAY for All NEW clutches, etc when ONLY a BRAKE FLUID change is needed! BYE NOW and send me the CHANGE!
- Which team's livery past or present is your favourite? Why? For me its Rothmans Honda. Dated I know. But the dark blue & white main colours with the red, white & gold stripes is not only simple but striking. Add in the Rothmans, Castrol & HRC logos in & walaa! Marlboros may be my favorite ciggies but the red & white just doesn't seem to 'fit' with a motorcycle. The modern day liveries, some with those heavy metalish designs or the orange white & black of Repsol are far too garish for my liking.
- If in the owners manual it says I should use 5W-20 motor oil, can I use 10W-40 motor oil instead? I have a 2009 Honda Fit. I just recently bought 10W-40 and when I got home to put oil in the manual said 5W-20. What's the difference? And is it okay if I still use the 10W-40?
- Would a 4 Cylinder Car in Sport Mode be able to accelerate faster than a V6 car in ECO mode? Take the Honda CRV Turbo at 190 horse power 4 cylinder in Sport Mode vs the Oddysey with 285 Horsepower on ECO with a V6.
- My car is reving but won't go over 20 mph? I have a 2002 Honda Civic, every time I try to go over 20 mph, my car won't accelerate anymore even thought the motor is reving, I need help.
