Default Clutch Fluid change trouble..

I went to change my clutch fluid today. I took off the bleed bolt and let it drain out. After no more fluid was coming out I tightened the bleed bolt and put some brake fluid into the cylinder. But not my clutch pedal wont come off the floor, and it wont go into gear. On top of that, if I turn off my car and put it in gear, and then try to start my car its in gear even when the pedal is pressed. Any idea how to solve this problem?

Its called a bleeder bolt for a reason. Try bleeding it.

hey dude you sound like you wont to kick your self in the *** for doing that every herd the fraze if its not broken dont fix it. well you spose do loosen the bleeder dont take it of. this is how you fix it close the bleeder. pump the clutch open the bleeder then pump it slowly until there are nomore bubbles and keep refilling it with more brake fluid. close the bleeder after there is no more bubbles you should be fine now.

You have to pick the pedal up with your hand or foot. It won't spring back up on its own.

Bleed the clutch hydraulic system and it'll be fine. It'll probably take a couple of small bottles of brake fluids to fully bleed the system.

I recommend using either Honda DOT 3 (dealer) or Honda DOT 4 (from Honda motorsports shops) brake fluid. The Valvoline SynPower and STP stuff, I've used before, and it takes some of the engagement point feel out of the pedal. Don't ask why, it just does.
