Okay.. there is a bit of a story before hand..
i have a 97 civic hatch with an 00 h22 sway. I just put an f-series tranny on it when i did the rebuild. ( the engine use to have the stock h-series tranny) Put an ACT clutch in. When we started to bleed the clutch, the pedal was right on the floor then right at the top with no pressure at all. We bleed the system for quite a while.
Went for the brake in drive.. managed to get through 1st, 2nd, 3rd and into 4th. Then the clutch wouldnt disengauge. Stopped on the side of the road, let it sit for a second, still nothing. Managed to make it move into 2nd to turn around. Wouldnt move out of 2nd. stopped the car again, shut it off. got the car into 2nd before starting it again. the car started and moved in 2nd. while driving, got it into 4th (couldnt get it into 3rd) and drove home in 4th. Went to go up the driveway... it wouldnt make it up the driveway in 4th. shut it off. let it sit for a few minutes, then got it into second before starting the car again and slowly made it up the hill and into the shop again.

We again tried bleeding the system but it didnt help. We didnt get any air pockets coming out. We checked for leaks and couldnt find any.


Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can try for tonight?

 

did u press the clutch up and down 3 times then bleed it thats the easiest way to do it
it sounds like your clutch slave cylinder is ****ed.take a look at it and report back

 

we have pumped it quite a few times. before we drove it, and again after. i will try again now that it has sat over night. and order a new slave.

 

probably the slave cyl or the hard line on the tranny, try pressure bleeding the clutch. after i replaced my master and slave cylinders on my cb7 i spent hours trying to bleed it, ended up having to build a makeshift pressure bleeder out of some vacuum hose and a pickle jar.

 

wasnt the slave... replaced that last night.. still have about 1.5 inches of clutch on the pedal. removed the master. going to try bench bleeding.. if that doesnt work, rebuild / replace it.

 

As far as bleeding you should really invest in a mighty vac. I had hard times bleeding my clutches and brake lines before I bought it. It's only like 20 bucks and you just stick a tube on the niple. Run that tube to a holder with brake fluid in it and then connect it to the air pump supplied. Pump tell you don't see any bubbles come. Works every time and clutch feels amazing each time for me.

Were you loosong fluid? Notice the resevior go doe
an at all? Before and after the replacement.

 

The fluid was going down and was flushing... clean fluid was coming out of the bleeder, and the air bubbles stopped coming out, but for some reason i still didnt have any clutch. i bought a new master today. put that in tonight and see if that helps.
