Clutch Problem

[livelife46290]

Alright well as most of you know the 92 Honda accord has a hydraulic clutch and well all of the sudden it stopped working. It was very odd. I was driving down the road and it just became very hard to shift gears so i pulled into a parking lot to go into the store. When i came out of the store I started my car and well I couldnt get it to shift, it would only roll of i took it out of gear. The clutch pedal itself is sitting half way to 3/4 of the way down in its travel. Well guys hopefully you can help me out. My car is sitting in a kings parking lot off of mineral and broadway which scares me. Anyways I also noticed it was leaking some fluid but im not quite sure what it was or what color it was, it was night time...Any suggestions you genuises may have would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Its hydraulic fluid most likely. The Clutch masters are notorious leakers on those cars. Take a look in the resivoir, if its empty you need some master and or slave replacement love. Hopefully it hasnt been going on too long, they tend to tax the clutch when they start to go bad.

Well went and bought some dot3 brake fluid and filled er up. Nothing changed at all. So looks like its off to the mechanics...unfortunatley.

If the reservoir was empty you need to bleed the system before it will work again.

If the reservoir was empty you need to bleed the system before it will work again.
If the resevoir was empy after a sudden loss of shifting ability, bleeding the system won't solve a damned thing because a piece of the system has failed ;)

It could be the master, slave or even just the line between the two.

Most the time I've found that cylinder leaks are often slow leaks, meaning that you can refill and bleed and it will last for a little while. :)
