Guys I just replaced my clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. I also swapped my 92 cx clutch lines into my theft recovery si. I think ive been bleeding right but still no pressure. In the past you guys have always been right please help me with this one. Ive swapped my motor and I cant even drive it yet cuz of this problem. Please help me?

 

you can bleed your clutch by yourself. this is what i do and have not had any problems.

1. open bleed valve and put a hose with a cup at the end to catch the fluid
2. push the clutch down slowly 5 times. then refill the brake resevoir
3. keep doing this until you have clean fluid in your resevoir
4. then when you have decided this is enough push down on the clutch pedal and leave it there, then go tighten the bleed valve.
5. then lift the clutch pedal up. and test.

some say you cant do it by yourself... bah bah bah.. ive done it like this for years never a problem , no leaks and no grinding... also remember sometimes the air doesnt want to come out so push down on the pedal fast to weed out those pesky air bubbles.

 

yea man ive done all that. How long should it take

 

if you still have no pressure you have air in the system still.. ive had to do it for awhile last time. due to the air not wanting to come out.. filling the reseviour like 6 times before i had pressure... just keep doing it ...just one of those things that takes time..

 

bump for tech

 

bump for help

 

i had a similar problem one time and it was because i was using old brake fluid that had been sitting on my shelf for about a year. i went and bought some new fluid and it pressured up with no problems.

NO, if you look at the top of the clutch reservoir cap it will say use only DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid.

on the other cars ive done with hyd. clutch, the cup you are using to catch the fluid needs to have enough fluid already in it to submerge the bleed hose or it wont work. i dont know why a honda would be any different.

heres the method ive yused on all other cars with no problem

1. push pedal down slowly, and then once it reaches the floor, prop it in place with a stick or something. just wedge it between the seat and the pedal.
2. attach hose to bleed screw.
3. stick hose into bottle of brake fluid
4. open bleed screw.
5. if it still has no pressure. then repeat entire process.
