    clutch problem

    im having a problem with my clutch. i just put a new clutch and flywheel in my car and still having a problem with the clutch slave pressure not releasing from the fork the slave back to the master cylinder. so its pushing enough as if im constantly riding my clutch and its heating up and eventually my pedal grab gets higher and higher all the time. i have a steel braided line direct from the master to the slave thinking it could be the line but it wasn't. both slave and master are fairly new too from leaking before and from napa parts store. can and of you give me an opinion on what it could be? last thing i can think of is it could be the master not letting the pressure all the way back. my last resort is spending the money and buying them from honda. thanks,

    did you buy the cheapest master and slave cylinders from napa? if so, there's a decent chance it's just bad parts. someone who knows more could answer this better, but I will add that buying factory Honda parts or more expensive parts that you've researched is the best way to go 90% of the time. I recently replaced my master cylinder with a non-Honda part, but it was 95 bucks from advance compared to the cheapest 15 dollar master cylinder. you get what you pay for, as much as it sucks.

      i dont know the real price i paid cause i get about 35% off from my school discount but i paid 60$ for mvaster and slave. i have a big feeling it is that cause i had honda one before and never experienced it until i did my swap and used those and have had nothing but problems. im on my second clutch in under 200 miles cause i heated the living crap out of the first one not being able to figure out what it could be. if you now anyone that would know more ask them and message me i would really appreciate that.

          You may need to adjust the rod connecting the main to the pedal. If you have the rod too far in on the main it'll constantly build pressure to the point where you have the problems you described. Has the clutch system ever lost pressure since you installed the new main and slave? Check the slave cylinder boot for fluid. You may have the pedal set up with too much depression.

            Had the same issue a while back, turned out to be the return spring on the clutch fork had snapped so the slave was not returning all the way. New spring and the problem was solved. Also, if the rod from pedal to master cylinder is to long the master cannot return all the way back which will not open the circuit to allow the excess fluid back to the resevoir. So check your linkage adjustment and any missing or broken return springs.

              the return spring is fairly new since i just did my clutch about a month ago and my pedal adjustment is maxed out to the highest points it has full push. i thought that could be my problem too but never adjusted it back cause if i adjust my pedal lower i won't be able to engage and disengage my clutch since is grabs about an inch from the floor

                I bet that's the problem. Adjust the rod on the main cylinder in a bit so you have about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of play before the pedal engages the main cylinder. You also may have to adjust the two switches at the top of the pedal as they will affect the play in the pedal. Once you have the pedal set you may have to bleed the system again. Did you ever check the slave cylinder boot to see if fluid was in there?

                  Slave is brand new. Nothing is leaking at all. I'll try to adjust the pedal tomorrow and see if it relieves the pressure it's building up.

                    What 2 switches on the pedal are you talking about? The only thing I adjusted was the pedal play which I have it maxed to the top cause I had so much play but that was my old clutch before I did the swap and never put it back after doing the swap and putting a new clutch.

                      There are two switches at the top of the pedal pivot point. Ones to disengage the cruise control and the others for ignition/starter engagement. But before you adjust those you need to adjust the main cylinder rod. Loosen the lock nut and thread the rod in till you have 2 or 3 threads showing where it screws into the pedal. This should give you a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch play in the pedal.

                        I don't have the switch for the cruise control or ignition. I have remote start so I deleted that one. I'll adjust the pedal tomorrow n let you know how it goes. Thanks for all the help as of now

                            Yall need to replace the entire clutch line from the master to the slave cyl to bypass the 'damper' inbetween. It is located on the pass side inner fender.

                            I had this issue as well. A decent braided line is avail from chasebays for like 60 bucks or so. Its easy as pie to replace.
