Bought a B5 about 3 moths ago from a honda dealership. the car had 120k on it when i got it and i was looking threw the maintence book and it seems there is alot to be taken care of through out the cars life ie. clutch fluid, differential fluid, trany fluid(it is a 5 speed) and timing belt of course. however i have no idea if any of it has been maintained. the car runs good except for a bad cv axle because im getting that notorius nock in the front end only when im braking in 2nd or 1st gear and a bad wheel bearing that i already replaced. i looked at the timing belt and it seems a little glazed over but not to bad and the grooves that run along thee belt are still in descent shape.. ahopuld i worry about it now? like i said i have no idea if its ever been replaced and i know it can cause serius damage if it lets go. im just lloking for some advice because i dont want to have a major problem happen and have to scrap the car when i still owe 5k on it.. any advice is appreciated...

TIA

 

i would replace the timing belt just to be safe

 

what in the hell is clutch fluid?

 

seriously?^^

 

oh i feel like a dumbass now. i thought he meant there was fluid in the clutch, like fluid in a torque converter. never even thought of the hydraulics of it all.
