Hey guys, having the same problem here where my clutch pedal only has 5cm of travel for clutch, but nothing seems to be leaking and the resovior is completely full.

Whats the next step? Is it slave or master that is fkd and if its not leaking then what?


** ALSO, slightly improves as I drive (ie more clutch movement, less sponginess)

Flush and replace the clutch fluid ftw. Use Honda DOT4 Brake Fluid.

A leaking master/slave cylinder is usually indicated by a sinking clutch pedal if you hold your foot on it.

ur fluid mayb old.. so it would get water residue into it causing the crap pedal...

so get new fluid and flush out the old shiet then bleed the new stuff so there is no air bubbles.

Yeh the fluid is designed to absorb moisture and degrades over time, causing a spongy clutch.

You are supposed to refresh the clutch fluid at regular intervals. I think its every two years or so
