No, seriously. How does it feel when he engages the clutch? The shop that put it on, do they know what they are doing?

No idea Rev,but I can find out.

EDIT: He said no pressure and goes straight to the floor

Those Preludes are sweet cars though. One of the few Hondas I would love to own.

I have no idea on this. Is the actual clutch going bad or is it something else in the system?

[CTS-Vluvr]

Well put Mopar!

No, but really, this car is 19 years old and that entire clutch system has been beat on no doubt. Who has been doing the work on it? My money says that by installing it wrong the first time that more damage happened than meets the eye and the whole thing is probably ruined. I don't know a lot about clutches, aside from how to drive the shit out of one, but I'd wager that he ruined something major by letting some stupid frak work on it.:yeeees:

I think its a bad clutch line. I had an issue similar, minus the whole clutch going bad part. If it goes right down to the floor, its a line issue. My car had a bubble in the line from pressure and heat, and it can burst. Its like an anuerysm. The line has a bubble on it and it causes the pedal to have no pressure, so I'd get a steel clutch line and that should fix it. I replaced my slave cylinder and master cylinder.

His question:
"when ur line busted could u notice if it was leaking fluid? my fluid is still to the max and hasnt went down much at all. the clutch started letting out midway and slowly started letting out closer and closer to the floor, until eventually it was gone"

[REVolution]

Fluid doesn't need to leak. Its a bubble that fills up. When they put it back in, I am not quite sure they put it in correctly, and there might be air in the line hence the lack of pressure. I'd get underneath the car, put lights everywhere and look at your tranny. If he doesn't know, Honda's have them on the bottom left side of the car. I'd check your lines and see if there is a bubble and I'd get someone to push the clutch in while the car is on (it can be off but I'd rather do it with it on if I were him) and watch what happens.

"do u think if i bleed the slave cylinder. if that will tell me if its a bubble or not?"

[REVolution]

I don't remember the old Preludes well. Is the cylinder inside the tranny or separate? Mine is inside the tranny bell housing.

[viduous]

Hey Revit. i finally made an account on here. i am the owner of the prelude. its a 1992 Si w/ 4WS. and i just know that the cylinder is on the front of the tranny. when they said this happened last time they said "the clutch rod was completely gone" i got the car back at around 3pm yesterday and i havnt even had it 24hrs and its out again? i don't think that is possible. i guess ill try n bleed it. and check for bubbles

[REVolution]

Give it a shot, and if not then you need to take it to someone that knows what they are doing. If the tranny is shot then you can find a replacement.

got everyone to laugh in their first post


except for the owner:sad:
