16honda passport we replaced clutch. Origanally throwout bearings went bad. Put all back togeather. Car will not engage no real pressue in pedal whatc to do bled already.

Try a new cable, and make sure the funky suzuki weak pedal
is not cracked or the spline at top end is not stripped.
there are 2 parts here. not counting the shift lever that can fail.
1: the pedal actuator and cable.
2: the clutch actual.

if the clutch lever moves (at bell) 1 inch the (no play) then the clutch is bad.
see that simple test? the 1 inch?
you step on the pedal and the lever on the throw out moves 1inch.
that is all the curator does.


the cables is only good for like 100kmiles, (more if lubed)
and like to break in the center where you cant see, they fry there
and prevents you from setting up free play right.
see the problem here? if the cable is bad , you had tension on the
bell lever and the clutch slipped and burned up.
the cable is the cheapest part and the lowest labor.
why folks replace it last , is a wonder. but see that all the time.

do you understand the free play rules here. on all clutches.
(cable or lever type)
it must have free play, 1/2 inch at the pedal or 1/8" at bell lever.
if not the throwout burns up.
if not, (worse) the clutch slips.
if not the PP fingers overheat and the spring fails, (anneals)
free play.
and changes to tighter as you drive and clutch wears.
if you cant get the free play right ,its a big issue.
the #1 reason is bad CABLE. $25 and its out.

It sounds like the throw out bearing separated. You will want to change the clutch and pressure plate when you replace the throw out bearing.

very old post , the cables all do that, at 200k, miles.

old post.
they have all fixes for that here,

Find out if this is a hydraulic clutch. Being a 2005, it most likely is and sounds like your slave cylinder went out. I'm not sure where this is on your car, however it is usually mounted on the driver side firewall below the brake mastercylinder (brake fluid resevoir).
If it is not located here (call an auto parts dealer for location, and a repair manual) then you may have an internal slave cylinder which is located in the transmission with the throwout bearing. You will need to pull the passenger side drive axle, seperate the transmission from the engine (if front wheel drive) to replace.
Inquire with your local auto parts dealer or dealership for further details and repair options, and if this is actually the issue. If it's internal, look for a puddle directly below the engine. If the slave cylinder went out, then you'll have a puddle under the engine.
Also, if the slave cylinder (if hydraulic) is mounted to the firewall, either it is bad and needs replaced; needs to be bled (like brakes) or you may not have put the throwout bearing on correctly and it came loose.
Again, inquire with the dealership or an auto parts dealer for details (or a certified mechanic for repairs).
Please let me know if you need further assistance.

The clutch pressure plate may have failed or the clutch plate may be worn to the rivets therefore not engaging the transmission. Either of these would be making a loud noise when the clutch is engaged. Another problem could be that the hydraulic fluid is low and not allowing the throwout bearing to engage the clutch. Get underneath the car and have someone push the clutch pedal down and make sure the arm that moves the throwout bearing is moving correctly.

You may have a bad throwout bearing which is not good as the transmission will need to be pulled to replace it, If replacing the throwout bearing it is usually a good idea to also replace the clutch plate at the same time. This can be caused by keeping pressure on the clutch pedal while driving causing the throwout bearing to be constantly engaged therefore wearing out the bearing.

once you have bled out all the air ,if the pedal still engages right down then suspect the fingers on the release plate are worn.Never replace a part of the clutch, allways change all 3 components,it save all the hastle of taking it to bits again and again.

it is the throw out bearing and if you go through that,you may as well replace the clutch,which must be removed to replace the bearing anyway.the clutch comes with a new bearing.

The symptoms of a bad throwout bearing is a horrible noise that ONLY occurs when you are pressing on the clutch. And/or you have no clutch action at all - the car is either in gear or it's in neutral. Sounds just like your situation alright.

Usually bad throwout bearings damage pressure plate fingers to the point that they need replacing too. And while they are in there, they will want to replace the clutch disk too. And then lathe the flywheel flat again so that they don't have a repeat customer complaining about the lousy clutch $job$ he just got. Flat flywheels supposedly won't chatter on take off or clutch engagement, but it could be hose job where you get soaked as well.

I went this route once on a gremlin - $500. The only reason I paid up was that I had a real good job at the time, and then I've never been back either.

throw out baring was inproperly installed
