I know it said to include year, mileage and engine size of car but I don't know those things. See it's not my car I have a question about, it's my fiiance's. He has a Honda Civic, i think it's a 92. For some reason the clutch went out. It wont pump. He added fluid, but that didn't help. He thought it might be the slave cylinder so he replaced the slave cylinder and it still isn't working. What are some other possibilities as to why the clutch would stop working? I'm sorry if this question doesn't have very much specifics. I really don't understand anything about cars. He is frustrated and ready to five up on this car, so i wanted to try to do something to help. I will be very greatful for any information you can give me! Thank you

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME?????? :cry: :cry:

When you say went out, is that as in the pedal does nothing but maybe go to the floor? If he replaced the slave unit, what was his basis for replacing that item? Leak found? Did he bleed the slave cylinder as the directions that come with them cover? The master cylinder is just as vulnerable to be wrong. That should be checked for leaks both around the master under the hood and inside the car where it goes through the firewall from the clutch pedal. Don't give up, the fix is easy.

It is SO important to bleed the system.

Suggested Repair

Bleed the clutch hydraulic system after the slave cylinder replacement. Also inspect the master cylinder for leaks under the hood and where it passes through the firewall at the clutch pedal.

Conversation Summary

A Honda Civic clutch pedal goes to the floor and will not pump. Fluid was found around the engine from the slave cylinder, which was replaced, but the clutch still does not work. The expert says the system must be bled and the master cylinder should be checked for leaks under the hood and inside the car at the firewall.
