Default Clutch Pedal no pressure

Your help would greatly be appreciated. I have search around this board but no related topics. This is a 93 prelude dohc vtec.
I have went through 2 new slave cylinder and 2 new clutch master cylinder from advance auto parts. Please! Please! help me figure what is wrong. Bleed several times and several bottle of clutch fluids, still no solutions. Clutch pedal drop dead to the floor. There seems to be no air leaks at all in the clutch line. Thank you.

Are you positive that you've removed all air from the system?

Make sure to pump the pedal until it begins to bleed, and then pour in my fluid. Repeat until you've filled the system up competely.

Sometimes it takes 20-30 minutes of bleeding to get all the bubbles out. Good luck!

It took me 6 hours to bleed my F150's lines after I replaced the clutch. Sometime there;s just a lot of air in the system.

sounds like you're just not bleeding the system enough. It took me a couple of hours to bleed my clutch one time. Replace both your parts again, and try bleeding the system again. Have one person inside pumping your pedal while you're opening and closing the valve

is the slave cyl moving when you push in the clutch? Could it be a problem under the tranny (pressure plate etc.)

are you bleeding it correctly? try this: open bleeder, push clutch pedal to floor, close bleeder, pull pedal off of floor, open bleeder, and repeat. 2 man job.

If you still have problems, get another person to help you bleed it. Press the clutch pedal and have the other person check if the slave is moving. If not, then you have more advanced problems.

But, all it is is a bunch of lines, fluid, and a cylinder that pushes fluid just to move the slave (a lot of bitchcrap **** i know). So the only problem can be:

a. air in the lines
b. holes/random crap in the lines
c. bad cylinders
d. god hates you

When you press down the pedal with the slave bleeder open does it squirt out fluid, air, both, nothing?

Sometimes a mightyvac (1-man bleeder) can pull fluid throughwhen conventional bleeding doesn't work. Sometimes the opposite is true.

Thanks everybody, problem has not been solve. Did done everything that all of you have said and no pressure on the pedal. During the whole bleeding process pressure was back but not for long it went out again. Clutch pedal is still dead.

*No, I don't think god hates me. Clean record. LOL.

*Could it have been the clutch pressure plate??? Other than that, maybe fluid line leak somewhere but no sign of leaks. All aprecciated. I'm taking it to the shop, see if them mechanic masters can resolve it.

I am sorry to tell you, but more likely than not there are more complicated problems with your clutch.

I am willing to bet it is the pressure plate. That's the only thing on the clutch that really retracts the clutch disc.

Thanks ap, I'll hold the bet. If it is then I'll change it out. But hopefully it's not.

Integ9505, hope you get it figured out too. good luck.
