Ok as some of you may remeber i was having problems with my clutch a while back. It would drop to the floor with no effort, and even stay on the floor, it had no pressure at all. I drove VERY CARFULLY to a shop, had them switch out my master and slave cylenders. cost me $400.

When i got it back it felt great, really nice and firm and took some effort to push to the floor, well it is now starting to go loose again, about 1200 miles after the replacement, wtf, arnt these things suposed to last alittle longer than that?

I have a stock clutch setup, and im not THAT hard on the clutch...

Any one have any ideas? I am having no leaks, the system was bleed...i dont know this is just pissin me off

 

If your car is not Hydraulic, it could be the clutch cable.

I used to own a nissan sentra and the cable bound up inside the casing. You could push the pedal to the floor and it would not come back up. Maby when they replaced the clutch it free'd up the cable for a little while and now its binding up again. Just a thought.

Of course if it is a hydraulic clutch than this would not be a problem.

 

It uses fluid, and has cylenders, that makes it hydrolic right?

 

Accord's and Prelude's have a hydraulic clutch. Civic's and Integra's have a cable.

 

this happenend to me in a mazda truck when I was learning to drive stick, I though i did something wrong but it runed out that there was a pinhold leak in one of the hoses that let air into the system, so it acts like breaks with air in the system the pedal does not really do anything. I would check for leaks and have it bled.

 

:thinking:


:nono:


There are civics with hydraulic clutch systems.

Check the clutch fluid reservoir.
When whoever replaced the slave and master cylinders, did he say why? Which one leaked? Did he/she replace any lines?

Whichever went bad, it's smart to change both the slave and the master.

Chances are MAYBE you just needed fluid and your system bled.

 

Yeha neither was leaking, but there was tons of air in the system, there was a leak somwhere, i just had them both replaced. As far as lines and other comonents, only the cylenders were replaced, nothin else

 

Never have seen any leaks, but when i took it in, they bled it and it worked again, they thought the leak was from one of the cylenders so they replaced those...maybe it was the hoses, but wouldnt i be seeing a leak, and be needing to top of my clutch fluid all the time, because there are no leaks that i can see, and i have never had to add fluid to the resivor

 

Bleed it again. Two person job. If the problem persists in 12k, replace the lines. We can help you with the bleed.

 

Well the mazda truck still had a lot of clutch fluid in it and we could not see it leaking, took a lot of feeling around. It leaked a lil fluid but let air into the system. So I would bleed it and then if it comes back change hoses.
