95 Honda Accord EX clutch occasionally slips??

I replaced the slave cylinder and the master cylinder and I have bled the clutch several times. However, the clutch occasionally starts to slip and it appears to happen when the weather is warmer. Once it starts happening I have to bleed the clutch a few times and then the problem mysteriously goes away for a few weeks but then it comes back again. It starts with a gradual slipping and then gets a little worse until I bleed it again. One person I talked to said it may be the rubber hose deteriorating internally causing it to act like a one way check valve, thus keeping the clutch engaged just enough to slip. Anyone else have this problem?

May be a bad pressure plate, because if it was the clutch hydraulics the pedal will go to the floor. Good Luck

I have a 1997 honda accord manual transmission. The clutch has no pressure. A brand new clutch kit, master and slave cylinder was installed, and the clutch will not bleed . What could be wrong?

how do u mean will not bleed it? its probably the piston in the slave cylinder sticking. try using a vacuum bleeder. keep flushing with clean fluid until bled.

1990 Honda EX clutch. It does not ingage. It pops to the top or sticks to the floor

Not sure of the model EX, but it probably has a clutch hydraulic slave and master cylinder that has leaked out the hydraulic fluid. Fill the clutch master cylinder (near the brake master cylinder) with brake fluid and pump the clutch pedal several times. The clutch work again until the fluid leaks out, so the permanent fix is to replace the master and or slave cylinders and bleed the system. Other models have a clutch cable that would need replacing in this case

Ok i have a 92 honda accord ex 5 speed. i have no pressure in my clutch pedal. i replace the slave cylinder and bled the whole system. a bunch oh thick gunk came out. and the car was fine. two weeks later...

You need to replace the slave cylinder, it is contaminating the system fluid with rubber seal gunk, this is ruining the new masters. The clutch slave and master should always be done as a pair. This advice comes from 35 years of work experience.

97 honda Ex Accord Standard Transmission. Having problem shifting into 1st or reverse when starting up car. while going down road it shifts fine. week prior same problem, told son to check fluid level,...

problem is in the hydraulic clutch system
low fluid indicates a leak at the slave cylinder and not holding pressure indicates a leak at the slave cylinder or in the clutch master cylinder
If the master cylinder and slave cylinder have not been replace in side 5 years ago , the have them replace by a specialist brake and clutch shop
at this point there is nothing wrong with the clutch proper

Master or slave cylinder...leakage?? lines..??

I am totally unfamiliar with the particular setup you have, however I know a bit about clutches, Sifting through what you said, it appears that your clutch is set up too tight. By this I mean that the throwout bearing is always pressing on the release diaphram (or fingers) on the clutch cover. As you drive this is causing the clutch disc to overheat and slip. The repeated bleeding you are doing likely has no effect on this other than that the time you spend bleeding is allowing the clutch assembly to cool off. If the slave cylinder is part of the throwout bearing and is inside the bellhousing you need to remove it and get one that is slightly shorter. If the slave is mounted on the bellhousing and activates a clutch fork that moves the bearing you will need to find a means of backing off the slave adjustment so there is a bit of freeplay between it and the fork. likely since you can drive it you are looking at 1/4" or less play to get it right. My only concern would be that you may have overcentered the fingers on the pressure plate and damaged the return spring. slipping the clutch also has not done good things to the disc either. (like driving down the road with your foot on the brake is not good for brake pads)
Good luck with your project !!
