Default Just Need To Double Check-Imput Please-

Hello Fellow Accord Owners. I have a 95 Accord, that was converted to manual. Last night my clutch pedal was to the ground. I couldnt even put it in gear with the car on. All of the fluid was gone in the resevoir(spelling), this is not the first time all of my fluid has been gone. In fact, basically every week or 2 I have to refill it. So I pulled the Clutch Pedal back up, then I barley tapped it and it dropped like a sack of rocks. Well I filled the Resevoir up; however, when I poured in the Brake Fluid it made a noise like when water goes down a drain, So it must have been really empty. Now usaully when I refill it the pedal will go back to normal. But this time its stayed the same, the pedal drops still like a sack of rocks. Now I knew something is wrong.
So I got on Honda-Tech and did a search. I found out that its the Master and the Slave. At least thats what I think. So I ordered both and they will be here tommorow.
I just want to make sure that it is the Master and Slave Cylinder. If you think its something else Please Please tell me.
Thanks for your help and reading all of this Fellas. Keep your Accords clean and free of Rice

before you go changing anything, check if you see fluid by the master cylinder inside your car by the pedal. if you do, you can just change the master cylinder. if you dnt, dont waste your money changing it because thats not the problem. move on to the slave cylinder. move the rubber cover and check for fluid. if you find fluid in there you need to replace the slave. if not then you have a leak in the line somewhere. must likely culprit is at one of the joint or the rubber section of the lines.

Where did it leak out?

There's a little hose from the reservoir going down to the actual master cylinder. Do you need that too? I don't know if the MC comes with the reservoir & hose.

Most of the hydraulic line is steel, but there's a hose near the slave cylinder. Maybe that was leaking & you need to replace it?

Good thought, I did check it and it doesnt feel wet nor do I see any fluid around in that area. I saw fluid leak out at the slave. There was fluid all on the ground when I looked at it. I just got the parts today and I will replace everything today. Then ill post up the results.
