[rey2009]

heyy memberss
something weird happend to my EG

3 days ago--- when i press my clutch it clutches halfway that means the top part of peddle is floppy:S

2 days ago -- i have to clutch to the ground that cuz more then half of my pedal is floppy only last bit that towards the ground is left

today: wen i pressed my clutch it doesnt pop up or has pressure to send it up and i cant change gears at all doesnt clutch at all its all floopy wen i preess clutch in it gets stuck to the ground and i have to use hand to pull it back up( no force needed)

i asked my mates they said if my car needed clutch replacement then the clutch shuld be very top of the pedal but my on is opposite:S

anyone PLEASE HELPP REP POINTS WILL BE GIVEN ON ANYTHING POSTED

cant drive at all:(

[SiReal]

check your clutch fluid resevoir.

I can bet my ass that there is nothing in there and either the master or slave clutch cylinders have leaked it all out (which would mean having them replaced)

[DLO01]

Have you got fluid leaks on the floor? Slave cylinder or master cylinder.

[grifty]

could also be air in the system, if you cant find any leaks try bleeding the clutch line

[tuanEH?]

^^ exactly what all those guys said, something similar happened to me before; turned out there was air in my system because didn't have enough fluid in reservoir.

[rey2009]

is this more expensive then replacing the clutch:S

[DLO01]

No. And less labour too.

[rey2009]

thank god good to here that

so basically car need servicing?

how do i check if its clutch fluid??

[grifty]

open up your bonnet and check if you have fluid in the clutch master cylinder.

[rey2009]

hmmm BRB ILL CHECK NOW IF I GOT A TORCH :P

btw where the clutch master cylinder:S

[SiReal]

look either near your gearbox OR inside the cabin near your clutch pedal.

[Lukey]

top left corner on the firewall. the smaller container with fluid is the clutch master cylinder

[rey2009]

OK I CHECKD IT

THERE WERE TWO CONTAINTER ON TOP LEFT CORNER

BOTH WITH SAME GREY LID SAYING BLA BLA BLA BRAKE FLUID BLA BLA

one was very small one was big

big one is half
and small one is EMPTY

any idea guys??

just realised

wen my car is off and i clutch in the pedal doesnt pop out
and wen car is on it doesnt come out but after a while wen i keep pumpinh it up it comes out but very hard to change gear not clutching properly as clutch is very to the end:(

[SiReal]

small one is clutch. u have a leak in the system. that is y ur clutch does ot work. ur clutch itself is fine, just the hydraulics arent working due to no clutch fluid.

now, go get some clutch fluid from honda and top it up. and get those master and slave cylinders changed asap.

[rey2009]

why do i have to change cylinders wen my car just needs fluid:S

is it expensive getting master and slave cylinders:(??

[SiReal]

u have to change them cos they are leaking. when they are leaking, the fluid goes. when the fluid goes, the clutch pedal wont work properly. when the clutch pedal doesnt work properly, u cannot engage and disengage the clutch

you could change only the main culprit but chances are, if u change one and not the other, the other will very soon shit itself due to the extra load placed on it from the new one.

as for price, i dont know , but it isnt too expensive parts wise and its a quick easy job. budget $300 maybe?

anyway, its a simple problem with a simple fix. if u still have no idea, just take it straight to honda and get them to sort it out.

[rey2009]

is the master cylinder the big container and slave the small container?

cuz if it is then my master is fine cuz its halfway more then MIN and less then MAX

just the small container?

[SiReal]

nono. the cylinders are NOT the containers. if u dont know what they are, i highly suggest you take it to a mechanic.

i recommend u jump onto google and do an image search.

[tuanEH?]

big container is for your brakes :)

[rey2009]

orite ill take it to mechanic tomorow and ill let u guys know whats the damage and whats the damage lol thanks rep to every single on off u

[Lukey]

top up the small one, pump up clutch, top up again. pump clutch.

keep checking it every few days and see how bad the leak is.

this happened to me once. my system has a tiny leak somewhere but its not major so i havent bothered replacing it. i top it up once a month or so, but not very much

[jdmlvn]

i highly suggest you take it to a mechanic man..

i had the exact same problem, i just topped up the fluid and bled the system. and it was good as new

[rey2009]

wat u mean bled the system?

[rey2009]

and what fluid shuld i buy from supercheap auto guys???

[Lukey]

i would recommend honda brake fluid.

but ive got castrol fluid in my clutch system.

[rey2009]

yea ill try ur method lukey cheap and not risky

if it drains the next day ill take it to mechanics lol

mayb cuz i didnt service my car for more then 1 year lol so no fluid left?

rite honda brake fluid from supercheap auto thanks

[rey2009]

btw im just searching supercheap auto

do i need dot3 or dot4 brake fluid for my clutch?

i got honda eg 93 hatch

[MWAKU]

wtf seriously? You buy brake fluid for ur clutch?

[grifty]

wtf seriously? You buy brake fluid for ur clutch?

well the clutch system does use brake fluid, it operates pretty much like a braking system as well.



mayb cuz i didnt service my car for more then 1 year lol so no fluid left?

even if you have not serviced your car for a year you should never have to top it off, so you definitely have a leak somewhere.

[pablos8]

Man u got a lot of problems with ur eg lols

SELL TIME

[rey2009]

Man u got a lot of problems with ur eg lols

SELL TIME

loll its the way i drive.....

[grifty]

i can see the title of your next thread already "my rim fell off while driving"........... lol just joking

[rey2009]

i can see the title of your next thread already "my rim fell off while driving"........... lol just joking

lol nice one

im gona get the fluid top it up and see how long it last if a month then leave it if a day or two or a week take it to mechanic:D

keep u guys posted thankss

[grifty]

your probably going to have to bleed the system when you put new fluid in because of the air trapped in the clutch line

[pablos8]

Yeah if it's the way u drive treat ur car better man

you only get out what you put in, treat ur ride right n it'll be good back

[rey2009]

what u mean by bleed the system? How do i do that

[grifty]

here u go

[tuanEH?]

bleed the system meaning flushing out the old fluid and in with the new fluid. I'd suggest you go to Honda and get oem brake fluid instead of getting from supercheap. BTW it's dot 3 brake fluid :)

[lilthug]

bleeding = removing air from system, no?

[rey2009]

hey guyss

i finally put fluid in and bleed out the system and everything

clutch is back to normal now

however i didnt see any leaks or anything
drove around for 30 mins clutch fuild level was same and no leaks

so i guess just needed fluid:D

THANKS ALOT GUYSS CUZ OF UZ I SAVED 300 FOR MECHANIC TO CHANGE CLUTCH WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED IN $10:D:D:D

ALL PEOPLE ABOVE REPD:)

THANKS AGAIN

[V73C]

Check your fluids again. Just to see if they're all gone or still there.

[rey2009]

thankss members

[rey2009]

heyy guyss

i checkd my car today

the fluid was fine no drop

but wen my car is cold wen i first start it in day
my peddle is half floppy from top and clutch at bottom
but then after 10 min it becomes fine
wat can be the problem members?
thanks in advance

[Lukey]

try pumping your clutch a bit before you start the car

[rey2009]

i did bro its like sticky in the middle till i drive then becomes fine

[geeang]

Still sounds like a dying clutch master cylinder.

[white_ep3_civic]

I agree sounds like the clutch master cylinder. It is a part on it way out cause it's not 100% undrivable yet

[rey2009]

so it needs a change? is it expensive?

[rey2009]

AND when i press clutch makes a sqeeky noise only when cars cold:S

thanks members

[geeang]

Clutch master cylinder failure seems to be a common problem with all Hondas pre-2001, if it hasn't died then it is on it's way out.

All of your symptoms point to it, as has been stated before a new one from Honda is ~$100-120, and then there is the labour for a mechanic to change it out.

[white_ep3_civic]

Prob wouldn't get it done by Honda though as they will charge a fortune for it

[rey2009]

local mechanic:D

thanks guysss ill drivee it till it takes me A to B

btw rep to u all:D

thank youuu
