    Soggy clutch

    Hey all, I just got my cb7 for a decent price but she has a few issues.

    First of which I want to address is my clutch.
    I've dealt with clutch hydraulic issues in my Mazda so I'm kinda used to it however the issues with my Honda are different.

    So basically I was told when I got it that it grinds in third but I've also noticed that sometimes I have to pump the clutch once to start it and I grind in other gears occasionally. With coinciding pressure loss it seems.

    I haven't noticed any loss in fluid which is why I'm on here. I suspect a slave cylinder or maybe a line? But I also understand that I can adjust the pedal too?

    Either way I could use some opinions

    Either your master or slave cylinder is likely crapping out on you. It's best to replace both at once. Bleeding can be a pain in the ass. Don't mess with the pedal adjustment unless it's absolutely necessary.

      Yeah replaced both on my first 93 cb7 bought for 500 bucks cause they didn't want to fix the clutch. Did it my self so easy enough. Go ahead replace both. It's a good idea so any future probs you'll know it ain't the slave or master. I remember adjusting my pedals for some reason... can't remember why but probably to get extra play out the pedal.... but idk maybe best not to mess with them like d said....

        That's what I figured, not too bad assuming I can get good parts.
        Where do you buy yours? I got mine from autozone last time and they were all leakier than the ones I had.

        Would you bench bleed? Or just swap the parts and the lines then bleed?

          I paid $600 for mine and it still drives great other than the whole clutch thing obviously.

            Haha ight ight good buy. Got mine up and running perfect for probably 600 bucks or less so neeeeahhh lmao. I went to oriellies for my stuff so maybe there. Might sell the same tho... but as far as bench bleeding guess that good to check if it's not leaking. But ones you place on the bleed valve right there on the slave so it's easy enough to bleed...

              I used autozone stuff once, had issues bleeding, and replaced it with oem parts. Still had issues bleeding. I had to pry on the fork at the space cylinder to get all the air out. Bench bleeding helps, but you may still have to wrestle with it a bit. Sometimes people get lucky and it's easy. Wasn't the case for me.

                Deeve was tackling that bleeding job for a while. Good times
                I would highly recommend bench bleeding. It'll cut the time down by a lot.
                I would also recommend making friends with someone who has a power bleeder. Then you can flush your brakes while you're at it.

                  Do check for leaking @ the clutch pedal area of firewall and also @ the slave cylinder under the rubber accordion boot. If everything's dry, you're good for the moment Then try bleeding out any air. Pedal adjustment sure couldn't hurt, I can elaborate more but make sure there is free play. So do not have the clutch instantly being to disengage when the pedal goes down like a 1/16". Shoot for 1/4-1/2" of free play.

                    I have a Duralast MC & Slave from Autozone (probably for about 10,000 miles & still good).

                    I was rushing the first time I put in a new Master Cylinder & did not tighten the bleeder screw on the side. It kept sucking in air but did not know where. Saw that the MC was leaking (after I pumped the clutch a million times with no result). Had to pull the whole MC out just to tighten the bleeder screw. Dumb mistake on my part for not checking. Sorry, just random thoughts from my experience.
