i was teaching my girlfriend how to drive my car and all of a sudden my car stalled and clutch pedal went to the floor and stayed there. then i got it to come back up and there was a lot of pressure.i then bleed the system and the pedal went from having a lot of pressure to like nothing. no pressure whats so ever. so at first i thought it was the master cylinder replaced that, nothing happened. next i replaced the slave cylinder last night. still nothing. theres a little bit of pressure now, the pedal comes back up by its own but it kinda takes a second. also the slave cylinder doesnt really move all that much. so now im thinkin that its the rod or folk or whatever its called but im now sure. anyone out there help me out.thanx

 

check the line at the master cylinder that goes to the resivoir (the braided style one), sometimes that line spins a little , gets kinked and there will be no fluid moving to prerss the slave cylinder

 

no i think thats ok. anything else

 

pull the lower dust shield off of the clutch and have a look with a flashlight. you will have to remove some suspension components to do it. get out the jackstands and have a look. it really sucks but that looks like your only option.

 

are you sure the master cylinder is alright? either that or somthin on your clutch or theres a messed up line somewhere that leaks

 

same thing happened to my car while i was doin the same thing you were doing lol. but with mine the clutch slave and master cylinder went bad and got them replaced. after that put new break fluid in and i was fine.

 

clutch cable

 

^^^^ It's a hydraulic transmission, not cable. ^^^^

Recheck all lines for leaks. Fill the system and push the pedal in a few times and check the level in the MC to see if it dropped.

Otherwise, you're looking at a new clutch. I'd pull of the dust cover to have a look for anything suspicious. You'll be pulling off that dust cover anyway when you replace it, so might as well...

 

go under your dash and check the top of the clutch pedal and see if it is all grimey and wet. if so replace your clutch master because the seals are busted

 

i already replaced that master cylinder. that was the first thing that i did. and after that didnt work i did the slave cylinder. and as far as i can tell i have no leaks. and if i have someone pusht he pedal the fluid in the master cylinder stays the same. dunno if thats how its supposed to be or not. i just bought a new 6 puck clutch so if its just the clutch, then oh well i was gunna change it out anyways.but i wasnt sure if it was something else or like within the tranny it self.

As far as other crap in your tranny, the throwout bearing could have failed, but nothing else. It's the linkage to the tranny (your fluid), the clutch, or the throwout. I vote to just tear the sucker apart and replace the whole thing anyway. Be sure to use new a new pilot and throwout bearing, btw. And grease it all up down there...

 

SOMETIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CLUTCH DISC ACTUALLY BREAKS, USUALLY FROM BEING OVER HEATED. HAD A CAR 2 WEEKS AGO COME IN WITH THEESE SYMPTOMS, & THE CLUTCH DISC WAS IN PIECES, ALSO HAD AN INTEGRA COME IN WITH THE SAME THING, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THERE WAS NO FLUID MOVING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE SLAVE CYLINDER, THE PROBLEM WAS A SLIGHT TWIST/KINK IN THE LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE RESIVOIR.

TAKE THE TRANS OFF & INSPECT THE CLUTCH & COMPONENTS FOR DAMAGE & SEE IF THEY ARE ALL FUNCTIONING RIGHT, THEN GO FROM THERE

 

Have you tried re-bleeding the CMC.

 

dude its the MCC man, either that or slave. you probly installed it wrong or something. bring your car to a mechanic

 

i pulled my motor and tranny,pulled the tranny away from the motor and saw that the teeth on the pressure plate where bent. put new clutch on and i was good to go
