My clutch pedal just dropped to the floor and doesn't retract back up.

Is it the clutch or just the cable? What do you think?

92 Accord

Thanks,

i would think the clutch master cylinder

 

Unlike the Civic, The Accord uses a Hydralically controlled clutch release mechanism. Here is a parts lay-out drawing of the system.

The Clutch master Cylinder (as mentioned by 93cb7sedan) is number #7 in the illustration.
You should take the time to inspect the entire system b4 you replace anything b'cuz 1 out of 10 failures are of the Slave Cylinder (#10).
A leaking Slave will be very apparent (since it's out in the open). The Master Cylinder leaks (however) inside the compartment; directly in front of the clutch pedal.

My accord happened the same thing, from one day to another the clutch went all the way down.... and had to replace the slave cylinder!!! Cost 30 dollars for a brand new one!

 

That same thing happened to me when I was trying to leave school!! I ended up having to have a buddy bump me home and then I had to replace the slave cylinder.

 

Try looking in your Clutch MC if you have any more fluid left. If not you have a leak somewhere. First place to check would be behind the clutch pedal and see if its wet. Second place would be your Slave cylinder as mentioned.

 

I had that EXACT same problem. They had to replace this hydrolic piece that enguages the clutch. From the dealer it was around 400$. That should fix the problem. dont worry

 

This is a pretty common problem. For a quick fix, check your brake fluid level, and top it off it it is low. Then give the clutch a few pumps.

Chances are though you will have to replace either the master or the slave cylinder (as stated earlier).

 

I had that issue in my 1990 Accord but it happened slowly. My slave cylinder was spewing fluid like you wouldn't believe and my master cylinder was starting to leak a little too. Check the slave cylinder first. Good luck.

 

i used to have the same problem, and i couldnt shift into gear, i just kept on stepping on it til it retract bak up, and everafter i never had the problem again

 

Be sure to bleed the lines when you are done replacing whatever you need to.

 

Master Cylinder has been replaced.

Everything held for about 300 miles, then this morning clutch pedal on the floor and no fluid in the reservoir.

So, slave cylinder is next. Right? Or could it be that the system needs to be bleed better?

Could a bad clutch also have these symptoms?

BTW 256k miles original clutch.

Thanks,

I assume a 'new' Master Cylinder, right?
Recheck everything, the system doesn't have enough volume to suck the fluid reservoir dry from just air.
I'd give a close eyeball at the slave cylinder next

Unless the Clutch Pressure Plate had a catastrophic spring or release lever failure, the pedal wouldn't go to the floor for that.
