SpeedDemon Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 i dont know for what reason it was done, but my clutch and brake pedal thread is gone, nowhere to be seen. anyways...does anyone have any ideas as to why my clutch and brake pedal are so low to the floor and spongy? and no it is not the fluid. my fluid is brand new, clear, and i can find no leaks. my thoughts are master cylinder, bad slave cylinder, or brake booster?

lceah Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I replied to your thread saying: Bleed master cylinder first. You might not have to replace it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevotron5000 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I suggested replacing the clutch slave first since it's only about $15 at a local store and takes only 15 minutes tops to replace. You were wondering what the hell "bench bleeding" (as suggested by lina) was and I noted that it's when you bleed out your master cylinders while they're outside of the car. Wonder what happened to the other thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 yeah i read and replied to both your posts, it was there last night when i went to bed at 1. but when i came home today it was completely gone. cant even find it in my posting history but yeah when i get my check from work ill be getting the slave and doing it asap. if that doesnt work im going master cylinder(i hear i have to take the dash out....) then finally if that doesnt work ill get brake booster and stainless steel lines for the brakes and clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Cool...update when you do I want to see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevotron5000 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 if that doesnt work im going master cylinder(i hear i have to take the dash out....) I'm no mechanic but I'm pretty sure you don't have to take your dash out, lol. I've changed mine once as well as a friend's, took 20 minutes for the clutch master including bleed...

Humphries Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 check proportioning valve, it may be at fault. replace the master cylinders. even without the brake booster, you'd still have a good brake. have you checked your pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 ^he said his pads are good... So what's happening David? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 yeah pads are still around 85%. never thought of that valve. but as soon as i get another warm day all master and slave cylinders are getting replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 prop valve could be stuck open or closed.. upgrade to 1'' EM1 prop valve.. if you have no ABS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 or honda tech or some local forum.. ebay is also a good alternative. these should not have had to been listed. but i figured you would need some kind of direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
