have somebody press on the pedal and see if slave cyl. pushing the shift fork

There is likely still air in the system. Once the system is bled correctly, you should start feeling pressure in the pedal. If not, that's when you move onto thinking it may be the hardware or an installation issue.

yeah the pedal when i press it down it doesnt move my shift fork.. And i have spend like almost three hours trying to bleed it how it is and other ways too. Have some inside the car pump pump pump hold it down then i open the bleeder close then pump pump pump hold it open the bleeder still the pedal doesnt get hard... Oh quick question was the different on a y8 tranny to a y7 tranny.

You may be using the wrong bleeding technique. Try searching on some techniques online. I usually leave the line open and pump slowly until i get some fluid moving. I put a hose on the end of the bleeder and feed it into a bottle.

see what i did was i told my friend to sit in the car then i open the resorviod tank so i would c if the fluid wouldnt go down. Anyways he would pump 3 times then hold it in the bottom then i would open the bleeder then close then he would pump again, like that for like three hours lolol...

if the pedal is still dropping to the floor and not comming up theres air somewhere. when you bled it did the fluid move at all? as someone else said some method for bleeding brakes dont work with bleeding your clutch. such as the pump, pump, hold method someone said doesnt work with a clutch very well. the only major difference between the y7 and y8 tranny are the gear ratio's, swapping then out shouldnt cause any problems.

yeah thats what they told me is just the gears... Anyways yeah the pump pump method is what im repeating.. What i want to try is to open the bleeder leave it open with a lil hose attach to it to a cup of fluid and just pump and pump to see what happends.... If it doesnt work would it be the slave cylinder?

if the slave was bad it would leak. thats really the only way they go bad, and a rebuild kit for them is like $12. the clutch will gravity bleed itself, assuming the lines are intact and not bent or moved where they could trap air. make sure your clutch pedal is up, take the cap off the clutch master cylinder, then open the bleeder. as fluid starts to come out make sure you add fluid to the master before it empties and pulls more air into the system. once you think your getting a good steady flow out of the slave, close the bleeder valve on the slave, fill the master and put the cap back on. then see if the pedal has pressure. if it still seems week it needs bleed more, but as long as it starts working better you know its just air in the line.

ima go do that right now ill hit you guys back if i get something thanks

didnt do squad... i connected a hose to the bleeder and i pump like 5 times then open it then i would see bubbles. Did that method for like 5 times would do anything... Then i just open the bleeder and left it open and i pump pump pump for a while and i notice then the resorvoid liquid was going down but still pedal on the floor.. Now i really dont know what to do.. I was thinking in the morning to get a new slave cilynder...

i beleive the problem is that your pumping the clutch pedel with the clutch reservoir cap off. Put the cap back on so when your friend pumps it, there will be enough pressure to push the oil into the clutch. just keep an eye on the fluid as it will drain very quickly and when it does just add more clutch oil and put the cap back on. let me know if you run into anymore problems

DCSportEJ1Civic

do it exactly as i said, no pumping the pedal at all. just let it drain itself and dont touch the pedal.

well guys i have to thank you all.. But my problem was in the master cylinnder.. Took it to a shop and put on the new master cylinder and it work right away.. Bad *** new clucth new transmision everything good to go... thank you guys again
