So I needed a new clutch put in last August and had that done.I put about 10k mile on the new clutch and last week I had some serious problems driving home.Any way,to make a long story short,it was the clutch master cylinder,so I had it replaced last Friday and everything was going fine,until today when the clutch pedal went to the floor and wouldn't come back up on it's own.I got out of the car and looked underneath and I could see a small amount of fluid dripping from the tranny.I then looked in the reservoir and it was bone dry.I added brake fluid to the reservoir and it didn't go down and there still wasn't any pressure.

Has anyone else had this type of situation happen to them or does anyone know what the problem could be?I was told that it's probably the clutch slave cylinder but I was also told that those rarely go out.Could it just be a coincidence?

I hate to say this but I am really getting tired of my Honda.It really isn't living up the the so perceived legendary reliability.I know that I bought it used with 105K miles on it,but the repair totals and fequency are just getting ridiculous.

Oh,It's a 94 Accord by the way.Thanks.

well the first thing to do is find out where the fluid went to, if the clutch master is leaking you can see it up under the dash, or maybe the line fitting or bleed screw on the slave is the problem.
FWIW that system is a real pain to bleed out the air, I have the best luck using a big syringe [farmers co-op] and tubing to shove fluid from the slave bleed screw back to the master.
Remember brake fluid will eat paint, clean up any spills ASAP with brake cleaner spray.
