It'll be two weeks this tuesday that I installed a clutch master and slave cylenders. I also installed a brake line from them (same make). ALL of which were made in china. But I figure "hey, it has a one year warrenty it can't be that bad".
For the past two weeks it's been dandy untill...
yesterday I noticed the clutch peddle was a bit droopy and the clutch wanted to engadge right off of the floor. I figured there was a little leak in the line somewhere. I poped the hood when I got home to discover that there was no fluid or wetspots anywhere. I didn't think much of it and just said to myself I'll just have to bleed it tomarrow (today). This morning I was about to head off to church only to discover that even with the clutch all the way down the car was moving forword as I was starting. I stoped right there and tried to get a feel of the clutch. sure enough I had nothing untill it was almost halfway down.
luckally my mom was nice enough to lend me her car and we shared her car for the day.
when we arrived back home I had her help me blead the clutch. this actually made it worse and now I feel nothing untill the peddle is almost all the way to the floor
The moral of this story is never buy clutch master/slave cylenders that are made in china. NEVER.
Buy the ones that are made in japan (from dealer) or remaned to OE specs.
I'm having very negitive thoughts on that brake line that I got there too (same make made in the same place). God forbid that brake line going out on me when I really need it. actually I've noted the brakes react slowly compared to before when I had the old brake line on there. when I had to panic stop recently it took about 1/4-1/2 secound for the brakes to start doing their thing. I'm glad I don't talegate people. I could have ended up with the car in front of me as a hood decoration.
That said I'm going to see if I can bring these parts back and get the real deal from honda. I'm not going to trust any of those crappy parts on the car anymore.
*edit, yeah the car isn't going to be moving for a little while
