I have a 1994 Honda Accord. When I push the clutch peddle in it nails the floor, so no pressure what so ever. I changed the clutch master cylinder and that didn't help. I changed the slave cylinder and that didn't help either. I checked every valve from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder, on both ends, and got fluid coming out when I "pushed" the clutch peddle in. (The pushed is in quotes because I barely push it and it nails the floor and then I have to bring it back to its starting point.) A friend and I bled the lines. We filled the clutch fluid container three times while doing so. Still the peddle nails the floor. The piston the moves the clutch fork in the slave cylinder does not move at all when I push the peddle. Please any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That part doesn't make sense.

The slave cylinder is new, right? I have to assume it's mounted properly on the transmission. Does ANYTHING move down there? I'm gonna guess that the piston rod coming out of the slave cylinder pushes against the clutch throw-out fork, but the fork doesn't have any resistance behind it. Time to look inside for a broken throw-out fork, throw-out bearing, or pressure plate. Any of these means you have to take out your transmission, so you may as well put in a new clutch kit.

i second that

 

He said "The piston the moves the clutch fork in the slave cylinder does not move at all when I push the peddle."

The slave cylinder piston should move when you push in the clutch. I wouldn't open the tranny until this is working properly. If there is no leak, I would guess that the system still isn't bled properly. How are you bleeding the system with a clutch pedal that hits the floor?

My pedal hit the floor after I changed my master cylinder and this is what I did. I made sure fluid was exiting the valves like you did. Then, with the valves closed, I pumped the clutch by hand (since you have to pull it off the floor) until the resistance started to build up. When I had some resistance I would push down on the clutch pedal with my foot, let it slip off and pop back up several times. The vibration helped to release some air bubbles which were coming up in the fluid resevoir. Worked for me.

Hope this helps some.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I got a vacuum bleeder. I used it to bleed my system again and that worked. Once again thank you for all of your suggestions.
