First off my clutch went in my 95 prelude non vtec so i bought a transmission that supposely has lsd in it. But i also got a fiddanza lightweight flywheel, stage 3 f1 series clutch and throw out bearing new for it. I put everything back together and bled the clutch 6 times and the pedal is still to the floor but seen small leak by pedal so i replaced the clutch master cylinder and gravity bled it and then bled it with a friend and still no luck. Could it be the slave cylinder? any help is appreciated thanks again.

dude, I hear ya!!

had to replace the clutch master cylinder last night and this thing is driving me fukN nuts!

I bled the hell out of this thing and finally got it but it takes forever.

It greatly helps if you have TWO people but unfortunately I was doing this alone.

You got to pump the clutch several times and then hold it down, release the valve on the slave cylinder, tighten valve, pull clutch back in slowly..
--Repeat--

Also, check to make sure the nut on the master cylinder rod is adjusted all the way back out (closest to the bolt/cotter pin)


** If anybody else has some useful information please chime in, this is bugging me too. I got it fixed now but it's still kinda hard to put it in gears and the clutch pedal still doesn't feel right. thanks

I have done it a few times. The best way to bleed it is to use a vacuum bleeder on the slave cylinder. I still had to pump bleed it. but it speeds up the process immensely.

I had to use a really cheap one man bleeder from autozone. Worked in like 5 min.

yeah, it is a real pain in the **** without a bleeder. i got mine from harbor freight. it work very nicely.

I didn't have much trouble with mine and I did it by my self until the last few pumps...
(Besides the point when the freakin' Bleeder Screw broke in my Brand New Slave...... )

--» Open Slave Bleeder Screw
«-- Push Pedal Down
--» Close Slave Bleeder Screw
«-- Pull Pedal Up

Repeated said process about 10 - 15 times.
Closed it off and pumped back-n-forth a few times..

And just to make sure, I got one of my roomies to come Push the Pedal a few times while I opened and closed and was good...

yikes. Just find a tube long enough and that securely fits over the nipple and run it below the car into a container. Open the bleeder. Pump the pedal and keep an eye on the fluid level. Once the level starts to drastically deplete ( no bubbles are visible at the hose/bleeder) after a few pumps you're good to go. Close off the bleeder, top off the fluid and cap it. It might help to have the pedal to the floor before closing off the bleeder. Pull it up and you should have clean fluid!

Finally got it. I had my friend pump the clutch while i pushed the slave cylinder in and out until it had enough pressure to pump on its own. And bled it again and got a spongy clutch where the pedal returns on its own now. So i bought a $30 1 person bleed pump kit to help get out the rest of the air in the system. and got a nice stiff clutch now thanks for the help.
