Default REPLACING CLUTCH

Alright, so I found out what's wrong with my clutch pedal havin no pressure after new slave cylinder and master cylinder
Its the fork that pumps the slave cylinder, the bearings in the clutch won't let it move, so I'm guessin I'm gonna have to replace the entire clutch right?
Now I have a clutch kit, does anyone know how to replace it? Anyone in queens, mechanic shops, I'm hearing itslike 100-150 the manual labor.
Thanx

Punctuation OWNS you!

Are you saying that the throw-out bearing is seized, and therefore has the clutch release fork stuck? The clutch itself has nothing to do with this, IF this is actually the case.

Beyond all that, the pedal would only have no pressure if the throw-out bearing were seized against the diaphram of the pressure plate, meaning there's no pressure on the clutch release fork to push back against the slave cyl. I'd find this a bit hard to believe considering the clutch would be completely disengaged. That throw-out bearing would have to be significantly seized to the drive shaft of the tranny to hold the diaphram in like that.

As for your other questions, I'm sure many people here know how to replace the clutch with your "clutch kit." I think your question should be "why is my tob seized?" You might be able to get to the bearing to break it loose from below the tranny if you take that shield off the bottom of it, but personally, I'd want to replace it, and see what's going on in there, which would require removing the transmission. That in itself is a $300-400 job a most shops.

This is all speculation from what I can understand when trying to read your post. More details, and better grammar would help further understand your problem.

my fault, alright heres the deal.
the fork doesnt want to move at all, therefore not pumping the slave cylinder and i get no pressure at all on my clutch pedal.
is that right, cause thats what i was told. im not a mechanic
and a friend told me to jus replace the whole clutch. cause something with the bearing not lettin the fork move to pump the slave cylinder.
i havent drove my car in a month because of this, thinking it was the slave cylinder and mastercylinder.

That's not good advice to just start out with. Sounds like there's something up with your bearing for sure, if it's affecting the clutch fork by not letting it move.

The thing that gets me is if the fork is NOT pushing back against the slave cyl creating pedal pressure. The angle of that would mean the bearing was stuck against the pressure plate's diaphram, and this just doesn't make sense to me. Regardless, everything you've said points back to the throw out bearing being stuck.

If the bearing was stuck, you'd have to remove the tranny, and replace the bearing ($40 part OEM Honda). Labor removing the tranny would be the biggie here.


Throw out bearing #5
