91 5 speed LX
so....
master cylinder went bad, replaced it a autozonecrap one, couldnt bleed the clutch so I took it a shop for them to do.

they tell me the master cylinder is bad (I proceed to return the autozone one), they replace it and bleed the system.

weeks go by, hydraulic system is fine, then the pedal starts losing stiffness and eventually theres no pressure so I cant get it into gear.

bleed the clutch, drives normal, days go by...pedal goes soft again.

take it back to the shop bc of the warrantee, all they do is bleed it, doesnt fix it and the problem persists. They suggest it could be the slave cylinder, I replace it and the problem is still there.

the shop has now pressure bleed it multiple times and replaced a clutch line and the problem still is there

ideas, suggestions? I doubt anyone can figure this out and if you can well then pat yourself on the back cuz you've earned the title of car guru

 

throw out bearing???

 

i think that maybe the clutch disc is not sliding correctly on the input shaft,, so when you let your foot off the pedal, the disc doesnt allow to contact the flywheel, and the pedal feels like air, when its just the disc may not be returning, when cutch does work has it been creaking at all? there are also times where the splines can wear and cause the disc to get stuck, and you may need to investigate the clutch itself.

 

check for leaks, especially near the clutch dampener area, this is bolted to the firewall right below the passenger side shock tower. those fail alot on the accords.

 

just a question to everyone!!!

inside the car....... right at the end of the clutch pedal .......theres fluid leaking!
what does this mean?????
I'm starting to loose pressure also but it comes back if the car sits for about 2 days

what do I need to fix this?

 

thats a bad clutch master cylender

 

its not the clutch itself bc it works normal when the system is bleed.

I will take a look at the damper, this problem is just super weird bc somehow air is getting into the lines but no fluid is leaking out

 

get rid of bulllshit aftermarket parts and buy oem. problem solved.
