Bleeding clutch slave cylinder

I have a 2001 honda accord dx. My clutch slave cylinder was leaking so I replaced it. Now it seems as if i cannot bleed the cylinder. I constantly pump the clutch and bleed the cylinder but I cant get any pressure on the clutch. Is there a special way to bleed this cylinder. I am really frustrated

    Open the bleeder at the slave and let it gravity bleed for 5 or ten minutes keep and eye on it do not let the fluid reservoir run dry, this should help, did you pre-bleed the cylinder before you replace it?? another thing master and slave should always be replaced as a pair, it may be debris from the master that caused the slave to fail.

If you loosten the slave bleeder screw and push in the clutch pedal fluid should come out if not make sure someone holds down the pedal and tighten the screw then pump the clutch a few times and hold the pedal and open the screw if no fluid repeat a couple of times if still no fluid you need either a new master cylinder or just rebuild it( normally cheaper) and if you rebuild it make sure you flush all the lines of debris

Have a 2001 honda accord just replaced master clutch cylinder and slave cylinder and clutch won't disengage. what could be the problem.

Did you bleed the clutch hydraulic system after you replaced the parts? It requires bleeding just like the brake system does.

Lost resistance on clutch pedal and hard to change gears also when topping up clutch fluid it does`nt last that much and leaks from slave cyclinder

If the slave cylinder is leaking, replace the slave cylinder. You are loosing hydraulic pressure in the clutch and is the reason why it is not engaging correctly.

2001 mercury cougar, master cylinder ran dry because slave cylinder below is leaking at the firewall. I filled the master cylinder and tried bleeding the clutch at the transmission until fluid stream...

No, you don't need to replace the clutch itself.
Don't be surprised if the slave cylinder replacement doesn't fix it.
Could be the master cylinder.

I have a 96 honda accord and changed the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder and bled the system there still is no clutch pressure

You need to PRE BLEED the master cylinder, or you may never get pressure. Parts houses sell little hoses for this purpose.

My 1990 Honda Accord is not taking gear

Check the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder reservoir - it is probably low. You will probably have to bleed the system (similar to bleeding brakes), the bleeder screw is on the slave cylinder on the front side of the transmission. If the level is low, you should also check for leaks in the system while you're at it. Leaks from the master cylinder show up on the inside of the firewall and floor below where the push rod comes through the firewall. Leaks from the slave cylinder should be fairly obvious on the flexible boot.

Bleeding clutch slave cylinder

i think youre doing the right thing. they are very stubborn to bleed because the hyd. line goes up high across back of engine before droppiing back down to slave cyl., trapping air. could try to gravity bleed by opening bleeder at slave, cap off of master cyl, full with fluid then it may start to come out after a bit. then try your process again. or can try to bleed at connections further up the line, working your way back to bleeder. hope this helps. be patient.
