When the engine and clutch are cold, rev it and drop the clutch in 5th and/or 6th (sitting still, e-brake on). If the engine dies, your clutch is alright. If the clutch slips, your clutch is fubar.

To remove the mirror and its plastic holder pull firmly from the top out and it will come loose. To remove the mirror from the plastic holder, bring a pot of water to a boil, then take the pot off of the burner. Lower the mirror and holder into the water for 20 seconds. Pull it back out and carefully push the mirror out from the back. The goop that holds it into the plastic holder can be reused to hold the new mirror in.

Awesome, Thanks man.

Anyone have any info on the clutch?

I've done that test to many a car without any negative result.

Other opinions?

I believed that centralcoastbuc left out a very important step in installing the mirror.

After you firmly pull from the top out...

-Drive/Call your closest Honda dealer to order the whole side mirror assembly..
-Pick up the order and then installed the new mirror.

From what I have heard. The clip is on the buttom and the hook is up top. Pull from the button out ...Otherwise, you'll rip the whole thing out, and possibly damaging everything behind it.

I've changed out both outside mirrors and yes you pull from the bottom. I used a hairdryer and it worked well when removing the mirror from the adaptor.

Been there done that. Pull from the bottom.

BTW this thread is old

Yeah, I notice, too. Just in case someone do a search and come across incorrect information, and get hit with a $200 side mirror.
