Default Clutch pedal, not coming up.

Just as the title says, I was in the middle of a turn tired to shift into 2nd gear half way through and when I stepped on my clutch it didn't come back up. Anyone have a clue what the problem is?
Pedal is just down to the floor, it can be put back up but then will do the same thing over.


Tranny wiil go into gear still.

Here is a pic of the clutch master cylinder, under your hood... Sorry not that great, but it is circled with an arrow pointing to it.



Anyways, check to see if that cap is still on/tight, and also what the fluid level is..

Here is a pic of where the actual clutch mechanism is on your transmission.



There is a little bleeder on the end of the clutch mechanism, that you can loosen just as if you were bleeding a brake caliper. If you try bleeding it, and you can never re-acquire pressure, then check all of the lines between the clutch cylinder and the clutch mechanism, running behind the engine... if there is a leak in there, then you will be able to see the fluid shooting out when you apply the clutch.

Also, you can use brake fluid on the clutch, when you put more in.

OK thanks guys. I checked my clutch fluid and there's nothing in there! I think I have a leak somewhere so tomorrow I'll be going up to Honda in the morning to get tranny fluid. Well now I just need to get my power window fixed :D.

No need to get fancy with the fluid, go buy some brake fluid at Autozone or something, bleed the lines for now.

If it's leaking there's no use trying to bleed it... it will jut continue to leak. OP says it will still go into gear, but I assume he means when the engine is off. No way in hell it's going into gear like that.

Anyway, check for fluid leaking from your clutch master cylinder, lines, and slave cylinder. If either cylinder is leaking, replace both master and slave, and bleed the line. GL

So finally had time to try to fix the hatch. Work these days...
From what I can see this is circled in the picture above...do I just loosen all that?



Clutch Master cylinder filled hoping to flush it out by today.


Tranny is a B16 trans if that matters.

the bleeder screw is on the bottom right of the slave clyinder. its just a metal nipple so to speak its not gonna be connected to the clutch line.

My friend and I just bleed the line so now what do I do? Put fluid in the clutch master cylinder? and I'm guessing if that doesn't work I have to replace the slave cylinder.

Sweet alright thanks to you all! I Took it around the block, and hit that Vtec I haven't seen in a few days. Oh yeah anyone know if a EX power window motor will work in my DX because I guess my car had right hand drive stuff and the motor is a right hand drive one.

Does anyone know where I can get this black tube thing from? I replaced the slave cylinder and that's fine but then the black tube is leaking a little bit now and then.
