buddy just got a 97 prelude base, with a 5 spd swap. the guy before replaced everything except the hardline going from the mastersil. to the valve. we would have to bleed it about every time he stoped cause it would grad. loose pressure. last night we bled it, and he got in the car to goto work and it went straight to the floor. repalced the slave sil. and still does the same. see no leaks from the main hardline, we bled about 10 times and no pressure. slave cylinder gone bad?

 

probably bled wrong

 

It's more common for the MC to fail than the slave cylinder. See if there is any fluid dripping from it back along the firewall under the dash right above the clutch pedal.

 

when my slave cylinder went dead i had very little pressure and it was hard to put it in gear, are sure you're bleeding it right? did u tighten the clutch line good?

 

we got pressure, but it is still slowing loosing it while drivin.

 

what procedure do you use to bleed it?

Open the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder, then get a buddy to pump the clutch pedal up and down.

 

i dunno man, check for leaks, make sure u tighten everything good

 

could it be something with the shift fork, the car was a auto,a nd the guy before swapped to 5 speed. checked the line and there were no kinks or anything.

 

You need to find out where the leak is coming from. Look under the car and

put a piece of cardboard underneath the engine bay on the tranny side, and see if you can spot leaks
