need help helpin a friend
 

ok, so since the jeep is still in the shop ive been daily driving the integra for a few weeks now. all is well except every once in a while Ill go to slow down to a stop light and i need to pull it into neutral but the clutch pedal is sitting on the floor with no pressure and I have to pump it to get pressure back into it. Not a huge deal but I just replaced the clutch master cylander late this summer and cleaned all the lines out. Its got 450 degree fluid in it instead of stock. Still stock slave cylander. could the slave cylander be bad or should I not have put so much trust in oreillys clutch master cylanders? Could the fluid be acting up in the cold weather? Im not losing any fluid, its still right where I left it this summer and its still clear and clean. This only happenes about once every 100 miles of driving. Let me know what you guys think

Did you bleed the slave already?

Remember, what makes the pedal go back up is the pressure plate pushing the piston inside the slave cylinder. In other words, your clutch.... at least your clutch pressure plate.... might be going bad.

Also, if you are felling a little bit of vibration and noise during shifting, it might be your throw out bearing going bad.

Either way, if bleeding does not fix it, you will have to pull the tranny out....

yea, we bleed it.

I had this issue on my 91 'Teg for about two months, eventually the car got stuck in first gear and I had to leave it on the side of the road, then returned at 2am and drove it home in 1st/2nd. (did u know you can shift WITHOUT the clutch if your speed is just right??)

After dismantling the clutch from the engine, I found that one of the small springs in the clutch plate had snapped in half and was free floating (messing sht up a lot.) Picked up a clutch kit from a local retailer, NPK I think. Had the flywheel resurfaced. Replaced all parts and re-assembled, adjusted cable to take all slack... ran mellow for first 1k miles, works like a charm, grabs hard after about 5k miles added; I couldn't be happier.

Hope that helps, I bet your clutch is slowly going out.

3 yrs later, awesome reply!
