This is my dilemma, driving the car a couple weeks back. Went to go push the clutch in and it dropped to the floor. So i figured ok no prob gotta change the master and slave, was able to drive it in first down the block some... Since i needed a new clutch id figured id change that too. As of now the new clutch kit is in (nothing fancy its my daily) new slave cylinder and master cylinder is on, bled the line pedal still not coming back up on its own..Any ideas?

 

It the pedal adjusted properly? Are you sure it's bled properly?

 

did you bench bleed the master?

 

When you say bled, do you mean "I didn't bother bleeding it"?

The adjustment may be an issue. You might have a fluid leak. Were solid streams of fresh fluid coming out when you finished bleeding the clutch? Is the slave cyl properly making contact with the fork?

The pedal just stays at the floor then?

 

figured it out sorry in so late with the response back. forgot to adjust the fork on the master cylinder >___<. def a noob move. guess i was so excited about getting the clutch and everything done and getting the car back on the road i just threw it on bled the system and.......yeaa. lol

 

Did the clutch fork return spring pop out? That should be the second thing you check with a dead pedal, right after you check for fluid leaks.

 

Clutch fork return spring?

 

The spring

On the clutch fork

That helps it return.

This is super simple stuff, does it need to be spelled out? Honda calls it "SPRING, CLUTCH RELEASE SETTING".

 

?? No. Theres a RETAINER spring for the clutch fork which holds it to the pivot ball. The clutch pressure plate springs are what return the fork back. As far as I can remember, that's the ONLY thing that pushes the fork back.

Without the pressure plate springs, the fork would just flop around/stay in whichever position you leave it.

He figured out his issue. I'm just not sure which spring you mean.

Non-returning pedals in hydro clutch cars are *usually* caused by low fluid, leaks, or mal-adjustment.

 

Wait....are you talking about a cable clutch?
