I just replaced the clutch slave cylinder

Car: Honda, Accord, 1995 - Back to Fix-It - Honda Accord Repair Manuals

Q.I just replaced the clutch slave cylinder on my '95 Accord because the old one was slightly leaking but still operating properly.
After installing the new one and bleeding the system, the clutch pedal goes all the way down and stays there until pulled back up, and there is no motion at the slave cylinder. Thi9nking I might have gotten a defective unit, I reinstalled the old one and bled the system.
The symptoms that occurred with the new unit are now happening with the old unit. Any ideas?

Answer Just double check your hard line to the slave cylinder is tight. Instead of pumping the clutch pedal lets do a gravity bleed.
Make sure the cluch pedal is in the up position. Fill the clutch fluid resevoir with dot3 or better brake fluid. Now crack open the bleeder on the slave cylinder.
The resevoir is higher up than the slave so gravity will slowly force the fluid/ air out of the system. Keep the resevoir toped off and dont let it get to low cause it will let air into the system. Run about 8 oz through the system. Tighten the bleeder and check for pedal pressure by hand not letting the peal go to the floor.
