Default clutch lacks pressure

Heres my problem: when you hold the clutch down, it will start losing pressure, and eventually stick to the floor. Okay, I have already swapped the slave cylinder, and master cylinder out, so those can't be the problem. I was wondering if there can possibly be a leak in the hardlines, and if so, how do you replace it?

It could possibly be your preasure plate sticking. And you can order hardlines direct from Honda. Or check with any auto part store. But more than likley i would honestly check the preasure plate.

If you had a leak in the lines (hard lines or the soft line piece) you would be losing fluid. Check the levels in your clutch MC and see if it's low - if it is, that's your problem. ALso, make sure your slave cylinder is working properly and pushing the fork how it's supposed to - you might want to remove the rubber boot that covers the spot where they make contact.

I don't want to mislead you with any other guesses, but those would be the first things I'd check.

It might be a leak somewhere because when i bleed the system, and fill it up, it drives fine. As you drive it and hold the clutch down for long periods, it starts getting shitty on me, as in it begins to lose that pressure.

sounds like you still have a leak. start tracing your clutch lines and have someone pump the clutch pedal for you. maybe you can find the leak and replace the necessary line.
