ok we put a clutch in a h22 and we bled the slave cylinder lines and everything and yet it still doesnt have enough pressure to put the car in gear any help would be great thanks............

 

Any Leaks on the hardline? How about the Clutch Master Cylinder? Is it leaking - check to see if there is fluid coming out by the push rod on the clutch pedal assembly.

 

there are no leaks anywhere its just like there is too much play in the pedal liike once pressure starts going the clucth hits the floor and it didnt build enough pressure.........if it helps any this engine is in an accord.........

 

check the clutch resivoir to see if it's filled up with brake fluid?

 

I dunno what it is, but the past couple of h22 clutches I did. I really had to bleed the lines... Just keep trying push pedal down open bleeder close lift up pedal and repeat and repeat and every so often make sure to refill the resevior. If it sucks in air gotta start all over again just keep trying....

yeah i hope your not doing this all by yourself cause its a too man job. Make sure the person helpin you bleed the system is competant on handling when you tell them to pump the clutch while you bleed it>

 

you need to hold the slave cylinder closed. it makes bleeding the system much easier. when you buy a new cylinder from Honda, it comes zip tied closed, and once the system is bled properly, the zip tie breaks on it's own.

easiest way...
manually hold the slave cylinder closed while someone else pumps the pedal 20 times. open the bleeder and check for bubbles. repeat until all bubbles have left the system. never let go of the slave cylinder until you feel the pushrod forcing your to release your grip. by this time, the system is properly bled and you're done.

before you start on this, manually close the slave cylinder with your hand, then open the bleeder at the same time... you'll get air that was trapped in the slave cylinder bleeding out. tighten the bleeder, check reservoir fluid level, and let go of the slave cylinder. chances are you'll get 100% pedal travel after doing that.

the slave cylinder was engineered by a retard... the line feeds into the top, and they set the bleeder valve in-line with the line so that fluid goes straight thru the slave while bleeding the system, which traps air behind the slave piston... you have to push the piston on rig it closed to get the air out. no amount of bleeding will get that air out until you compress the slave piston.

or you can get a vacuum pump at your local parts store for $30... and you'll be able to do all hydraulic systems by yourself... no pumping pedals.
