start clutch in 2003 honda civic hybrid
I was wondering if failing start clutch has anything to do with needing to replace the fuel cells? I was told in August this year that my needed replacement battery which will cost 2500 or so, then the axle needed replacement, now it is the start clutch? anyone has experience with such problems? the car has less than 90K miles.

Never heard of anyone having problems with the axle.
Like Harold said, no fuel cells.
A car could possibly need a replacement battery and a new start clutch, but the two things are not related.
I would go to a different dealer to get a second opinion. It sounds like someone is taking advantage of you.

Everyone's car is different. What "symptoms" does your car exhibit? Is it making a juddering sound or feel like it's rumbling when you start to accelerate from a stop? Does it usually do this if you going from a start on an uphill incline?
Sometimes they advise a change of CVT transmission fluid and a procedure called a "burnish". Ask if this has been done yet as a first step. Sometimes these procedures can help.
