i parked my car at my boys house last night....(driveway)
left it in first gear... parked for about 4 hours..

came back out...
and now my clutch pedal is h.ella soft.... no pressure at all(half way)
then it feels normal again once its half way pushed down....

just feels weird...

any ideas?

 

Stock clutch or aftermarket? When was it changed last, and have you ever bled the line?

 

dont know... i havent looked at it since i bought the car.. about a month ago..

 

have you checked your clutch fluid? If low it could be leak in slave cyl., master cyl., or possibly lines. It's usually one of the first two.

 

havent checked yet...
might have to bleed the lines?

 

1. check the fluid level as mentioned above.
2. check for signs of leakage as mentioned above(because this is a closed system the only way air will get in or your pedal will be soft is if theres a opening)
3. ok theres a bleeder valve on the slave have someone pump the pedal about 5-10x then have them hold it. you open the valve and let the fluid and maybe air come out and tighten it up. That should help.
4. If you do this a few times and you can drive the car then it happens again you most likely have a slow leak somewhere. remember check the clutch master and the slave cylinder they are the big reasons of leakage in the hydraulic clutch system.
5. If you cant find anything leaking then u may have to troubleshoot the clutch itself it may be time for a new one.
6. just some prices to run by u....new slave will run u $50-75 and oem new clutch kit from like an autozone $275 not to sure on the clutch master but u can get them pretty cheap on ebay.

 

First off check the clutch fluid level.

Secondly check for leaks at the clutch master cylinder (it will be wet inside the car where it comes through the firewall), and check for leaks in the line and at the slave cylinder.

Lastly, if all appears well, bleed the clutch fluid.

 

if you find a leak fix the leak and then bleed. If you find no leak and the fluid is low bleed it. I drove around with a leaky master cyl for a few months before she finally leaked enough to be visible

 

dang...sounds like a lot of work...
BAD timing too..

 

ok..i just checked....
no fluid in the tank..

will buy fluid at lunch

 

filled the reservoir up...
left over fluid is black/brown....

didnt fix it...

location for bleeder?

 

bleeder is on the slave cyl. located on the front of the tranny behind radiator

 

looks like a nipple, its 8mm

 

with a plastic black cover?

This is what I'd say. Usually a soft pedal usually has something to do with either the fluid level, or the lines itself.

 

It shouldn't have a cover. The bleeder valve looks about the same as a brake caliper bleeder valve, just follow the only hard line to the front of the tranny housing, you can't miss it.
P.s. theres usually a small rubber cap on the end of it, you need to remove it; lol.

 

ok...cause theres this BIG thing in front of the tranny and has a black plastic cover on it...its cracked(a hole in it)
no liquid comin out of it though.

will check again at lunch time.

 

Your in the right spot, should be to the right of the boot, where the line comes in.

 

Let me save you the trouble and tell you to go buy a new clutch master cylinder. In fact, since it's obvious that you have utterly no idea what you're doing, it might be better to leave this particular job to a friend with some knowledge or a fellow Honda-Tech member in your area. It's not that the replacement is super hard, but it's infuriating because of the placement of many of the bolts, and if you don't know what to do (and have the proper tools to do it) you can strip or bend lines and end up with a mushy pedal and an empty wallet.

Bench bleed, by the way. And don't ask me what that means when you can Google it in .034 seconds.

 

replace master before slave?
