Ok, so I was driving to work a tonight everything was fine and dandy, then me and my bro get done cleaning our car dealership we clean and my Clutch pedal gets stuck on the way to the other dealership we clean. I get to the other dealership and check my fluid again and i'm almost out! So I find some Dot 3 fluid and fill it up. Then I get back home, about a 20 mile drive and I'm clean out of fluid again? Now could my slave or master cylinder be going bad or what?


edit: I did not mean to make this a poll!!!!!

 

First thing I would do is check under your floormat/driver footwell area. See if it is wet. Your clutch master cylinder might be leaking. If that's not it, pop the hood and look at the slave cylinder. See if it look wet around in that area. If you don't know where it is, it is to the left of the engine code stamp on the engine block.

If that looks fine, there might be a leak somewhere else (most likely behind the tranny where the lines run.

Check the two I suggested and report back.

 

Thanks! I know it's not leaking under my footwall area because I drove with no shoes tonight. I check the other areas tomorrow when I have some daylight

Don't just assume it isn't leaking. Pull the floormat back. It might be leaking above the mat and draining behind it.

 

could also be your rubber clutch hose is leaking, located next to the intake on the passenger side fender.

 

well u might wanna find the fluid!!!!

 

This is the entire clutch system:



There's not a whole lot to it. Check the master cylinder all the way to the slave and you'll find the leak.

 

Found my problem, fluid is leaking out of my slave cylinder onto the crossmember

 

mine is the master cylinder...i just keep filling it up until i either decide to fix myself or find someone that will assist me with it.

 

I have a leak in my clutch line some where as well. I can't find it though.

 

They have them cheap on ebay....buy a replacement and replace....easy.

 

I have a brand new slave and master cylinder that i bought for my 5-th gen prelude. pm me if you need them.

 

Hose 21 on hawks post is usually the weak link if its not a cylinder.
its the hose running off the filling resivoir.

do your own clutch, its pretty easy!

people here should be able to walk you through if your a touch on the un-mechanically inclined side!

 

jus letting you know guys dont buy aftermarket or some brand name clutch slave or master it wont last long, i got mine at ebay 6months after it starts leaking again from the MC , and now im using with OEM HONDA goin on 14moths now no leaks

 

Mine leak as well.

It's not hard to find the problem if your losing that much fluid. Put the car up on stands, fill the resevoir, and have someone lay under the car or look in from the hood while someone else pumps the clutch pedal. It shouldn't be too difficult to find the area you're losing fluid.
