I have a 95' Civic with 150k miles with the original clutch. It has
been running great for years and years, however just lately, the
transmission feels like it is slipping after changing gears into 2nd,
3rd, and sometimes 4th. I don't think the clutch is really worn yet as
it "catches" several inches away from the floor panel still...Also to
add, it seems to happen when the car is warm or after some driving.
One more thing, this problem is intermittent.

Any ideas???

My money says that your clutch is worn out.

It could also be that the clutch is fouled with oil from a leaking engine
seal. In either case, removing the clutch is in order.

My opinion is worth what you paid me for it ....

1. Clutch
2. Really, really worn out tires.
