buy the part yourself and do it yourself.
check your pedal area for any leakage of fluids.. if there's any leak then it's the cmc
yeah its under the pedal. how long will it take to ship? and also will i need any others parts to go with it?
cheers
get from mekong for $110Quote:

If you wanna go cheaper, you dont have to buy a new one. They can just rebuild. New gaskets. Lot cheaper.
no. order it from cflhonda and it comes with brake fluid (which is clutch fluid as well from memory) and it's 2 bolts and a butterfly clip. I'm not good with tools but I managed it fairly easilyQuote:

don't bother rebuilding.
Most people have nice cars but nice loans attached - hence why people on here are always asking for the cheapest alternative to servicing , parts - tyres even !Quote:

^yeh hanny's is like that lol.
He is asking for a cheaper alternative. That was the thread. Its his car so you shouldnt assume financial status' of others. And there is nothing wrong with rebuilding it. ;)Quote:

all good now .. ended up sourcing it from peter warren coz i didnt want to wait for shipping and to answers benjaminns question, no i didnt have a nice loan attach or attached to it
cheers
Something to keep in mind that if it's still soft after swapping out the clutch master, that it could also be the clutch slave. But less likely... the master cylinders seem to go more often...

And if the cylinder is scored you can usually re-hone with a very simple tool attached to a drill.
man after reading how much ppl were saying about the price..
i know i got ripped off for sure!
i had to replace my master and slave cycliner on my ep3!
and the person who did the job for me.. he just said he'l fix it and look after me!
:(
How much did you get charged?Quote:

get dome competant DIY'er on the forums to install for you.
both done for less than 300 easy I reckon.....
Workshops will use OEM parts and probably buy from Honda or another middle man. It would be hard to get both fitted for 3hunjy. Probs abit more. 400 mark maybe?Quote:

Oh yea for the OP.Quote:

oh man..! :/
i paid 460 for it... not too sure now.. i still got the receipt so ill double check when i get home..
think i might just start handing out money for the fun of it.. lol
considering you went to a workshop, 460 isn't too bad.......
I thought you were talking about 600+
oh so its not too bad then i guess
when i was reading how people can get this for 100 and that for a 100!
i was thinking... wth? did i get ripped off??
but the thing was.. im not sure if he re-built it or got a new oem part
oh wells! whats done is done!
LOL you clown!Quote:

less weight on the car, so therefore faster!
:P
my clucth is super soft and does not get into gear at all... and there is no leakage anywhere ? what do i do?
Get ready to lighten that wallet.
Seriously, have you checked the fluid in the master cylinder? Is it low? Is it black?
it is black ill take a photo! pretty low, is it just a matter of changing the break fluid, bleed etc. i think their might be air inside...
heres the picture. fluid is pretty low... is this the issue. its under the metal thing. http://oi46.tinypic.com/30kttz4.jpg
yeahhh i remember how my car felt before both master and slave cyclinder...
i remember my clutch pedal is feeling normal, but at times i couldnt engaged into gear...
when my car is in a stand still, and i try to get it to gear one... it wouldnt engage and it was the same for reverse... i sometime just stalled the car just so i could get it back to into gear while the car was off.
then one day, i got home, packed in the driveway and blocked both my parents and sister's car. They all needed to go, so I got in, step on my clutch and turn my car on. (i got to clutch start with my car)
and while doing that i heard a loud snap/crack! and game over!!
You guys need to trade your cars in on automatic Hyundais.
Either that or contribute to my alcohol problem.
LOL wayne
That's 'Aus'.
Or 'Sir'
SLOBRO. Apt name.
Probably best to leave the advice to those that have a clue what they are talking about.
If one of the symptoms is trouble putting it into gear the issue isn't an old clutch. The problem is hydraulics.
Op ,
This is a common problem with many 00+ Hondas - s2ks and ep3/dc5's all seem to have failing master and slave cylinders.
One things for sure - they often fail after the other has been replaced - so replace BOTH at the same time.
my mechanic came to and he fixed it up somehow. bleed the system with new fluid. but he told me i can drive for a few months, then have a cmc ready on the side so if it happens he can install it straight away. thanks for the help boys!
You can replace the CMC and CSC with new OEM, secondhand, third party or even rebuild.
But if you want to really save money and effort, try servicing it every once in a while.
