Ok I had this new (used) clutch put in roughly 2-3 weeks ago. Had the pressure plate, new TO bearing, and lightened flywheel put in also.

The car's been driving fine and I was beating the **** out of it all night this past Thursday, but it fucked up on me last night. It was working fine until about 2:00 AM on the way home and the **** wouldn't engage. My clutch pedal is almost touching the floor (aka not springing up like it should) and I have to play the shifter to get it to go into a gear. If I come to a stop in 1st the car jumps forward as if the clutch pedal isn't pushed in.

Any ideas what it could be? Once the car starts moving it goes in relatively easier, but it will still refuse to engage sometimes. When I'm slowing down or at a stop I have to fiddle with it for about a minute for it to do ****.

Any ideas?

This is for a 95 B18c1. The clutch is an ACT street/strip, PP is an ACT Xtreme, Pilot TOB, and ACT Xact Prolite 8.8lb.

this happend to me too check your clutch master cyclinder for fluid you might have a small leak and there no fluid in there to work your clutch or there is a leak in the line... is there enough fluid in the clutch master cylinder ???? check

 

You need to bleed your clutch slave or your master cylinder fuild is low . if after that and is still got the same problem then it could be the master cylinder is going out or the clutch slave is bad.

 

I think my master cylinder is bad. I just got out there to check the car out and I've got fluid leaking from the firewall behind the clutch pedal.

And this is a stupid *** question, but where is the clutch master cylinder?

 

Ok I got it. My master cylinder needs a rebuild.

We put some fluid in it and pumped the clutch and it got just a little stiffer, but it feels like stock now, not like it should.

brake fluid. And your clutch cylinder is where your clutch pedal is at, and where you are likely seeing the leaking So, either go buy a new one, honda, or autozone, or whatever, add fluid bleed it from your slave cylinder and enjoy. If your in a pinch, add fluid bleed, and replace very soon.

 

The leak is coming from where the clutch rod piece goes through the firewall.

I'm going to attempt to do this myself haha, how do I bleed it after the new master cylinder is in?
