Re: 1993 Honda Civic clutch foot pedal has little pressor
Hi Tegger,
I just checked for leakage, and it doesn't seem there was any fluid leaking out of the mc. There is enough grease on the end side of the mc by the pedal, so it all seems to be fine. All I can think of is maybe the fluid on the MC was never filled back up, and it damaged the seals on the MC. AutoZone just received my parts, so I'm going try and have this guy install them tomorrow, but for the time being, I'll just keep pumping on the clutch pedal. I don't see anywhere that its possible to bleed the mc though. Thanks again for your help. You've been so very helpful. The labor will be about $80.00 the guy said, just for future reference for others who may have to have someone else do it. Respectfully, Johnny |

Thanks Jim. Darn, and I had just bought the good synthetic dot4

Re: 1993 Honda Civic clutch foot pedal has little pressor
Synthetic is DOT5? huh? Is it that bad that companies just put anything
on the bottle just to sell it? [scratches ones head, and thinks geez, well maybe] I bought the Prestone Synthetic Dot 4, but it reads will work perfect with all dot 3 and dot 4. I bought it because it will work at the highest temperature (500F), and it gets so damn hot here and humit that I figured it maybe a good idea to get it. It's clear like water. |
