first of all i have a 97 prelude non sh. ok so i left my car outside for 3 days and i live in chicago. it wasnt that cold over the weekend but when i got back i pushed the clutch down and the car started. but i couldnt put it in gear. i was feeling no pressure when i pushed down the clutch. so i pumped it for a bit and it went in gear and i started moving. again i stopped and the same thing happened. the clutch wouldnt engage unless i pumped it. so i drove it home and got it in the garage and i went down today and i cant even pump it to get it working. i dont know whats goin on and i dont know what to do. oh and also my clutch is brand new only about 1500 miles on it. any suggestions on what to do would be very much appreciated.

 

sounds like you had hydraulic pressure and then you lost it .. I'd check one of the lines for a leak..Of course after a new clutch and throw out bearing it might have been all you needed to wear out you're slave cylinder..Check the range of motion on the slave cylinder with a Friend and your fluid level..

 

 

Check your fluid( small resivoir next to brake master cyl res, use Dot3 brake fluid)
Is there any fluid leaking into the car( clutch master cylinder)
Also check your slave cylinder.

 

grab a buddy
1.pedal all the way up
2.open bleeder
3.push down pedal, hold down
4. close bleeder
5. pedal all the way up
6.never let the fluid in the resivoir all the way down of else air gets in and you start all over again.
if the bleeder is open when you pull the pedal up, air gets sucked in.
repeat , if you still dont get any pressure
could be mc,slave,dampner assembly?
Use DOT 3 brake fluid

 

/\ Hey thats mine

 

Sure is - Worked wonders!

 

same problem happened to me. ended up being a pin size hole in the clutch hose. it squirted out hydraulic fluid every time i pressed the clutch pedal, therefore lost hydraulic pressure. bought a new one from honda and it works good as new. also, dont forget to check to make sure your bleeder screw is tightened all the way.
