so i finally got the master replaced, and the slave too. the slave/master replacements seem to be okay (move freely/evenly without notches) anyways, so i put the master/slave on and i get about an hour of regular pedal and it just seems to progressively get softer until theres no pedal again.. (i bled it until even flow of liquid was coming out) but thats not where the problem lies i dont think..

so i got under the car (without a floorjack or jackstands, but honda jack + cinderblocks and whatnot) and i see that the ball/piston of the slave cylinder isn't pushing against the pressure plate (which explains it perfectly) but the problem is, that thing the slave pushes against, is stuck and so i can't re-install the slave cylinder properly..

how do i free it so that i can freely position the slave cylinder? has anyone ever encountered something like this before? I'm also pretty sure its not the clutch itself because i got a good pedal feel the first time i bled it.

 

im gonna try to borrow a camera to take pictures of what im talking about

 

nm problem solved for now at least.. release fork is what its called haha
