excellent, do they have other years of prelude manuals available?
i have my helms...but an online resource is always good too.

i used to have a 90 si, stick.
great car, sold it last year but it was light as hell and i rallied that thing many a time, great car but expensive and hard to find parts for.

I can't remember how I stumbled upon that online manual, but I assume they have ones for later years as well. Note when you get to the root of the website, there is no way for you to get into the links! weird.

Anyway.. I did get a new slave cylinder.. put it in just about 20 minutes ago, and had my bro help me bleed the line... I got more pressure in the pedal than the old cylinder, so I know that helps... but I still can't shift it in gear. The pedal has more pressure for sure.. but not like how it was when I was able to shift. The master cylinder, how can you tell that thing is working properly? I mean.. I can pump it with the bleed valve open and I get all the liquid out.. so I assume that it's doing it's job. I can see the fork move back and forth as you push on the clutch pedal, but maybe the fork isn't moving enough to have anything to do with the bearing inside the tranny..
I didn't hear a loud snap when I lost the ability to shift with the clutch, so I think the fork isn't broken. I still think I don't have enough pressure in the line like how you're supposed to have it to shift.

On the onset.. if you can powershift, then essentially your tranny is still good right? if you can't powershift, then it may be an even bigger issue than just the master and slave cylinders...

Any insight would be great!
