Re: Shifting issues with Prelude
 

Well this is currently my DD. So I will try all the little crap and hope that it's something simple. If not I will have to wait till the teg is up sometime to start on this one.

Re: Shifting issues with Prelude
 

Well tried and tried to get that freaking valve undone. It will not budge for anything. I guess my only other option at this point is to replace the slave.

Re: Shifting issues with Prelude
 

$1 bet that the clutch disc popped a spring, not allowing the clutch to fully disengage.

If it was a B series clutch, I'd up that bet to $100.

Slave is like $30, no need to drop the tranny.

Re: Shifting issues with Prelude
 

Well after trying again and some choice words I pulled the slave. Looks like who ever did the swap used a old slave. When I undone the bolts the boot was just sitting on there torn already. The clutch fluid that came out was black as oil too. Here is a picture of the slave. Think the slave might have been going bad?

Called up Advance and the Zone. They only have two in stock, and I have to be able to drive. Which one would you guys get? One looks shitty with a piston, the other looks clean and no piston.

slaves a slace, just make sure to o pick up brake fluid while ur at it

Re: Shifting issues with Prelude
 

both are piston type buy what evr one you want and make sure to bleed the ---- out of it

now that you mention it it could be a spring in the pressure plate

Re: Shifting issues with Prelude
 

Got it in and bled like a stuck pig. It didn't fix the problem, but it did shift better driving it around. I noticed when he was pressing the clutch in while I was bleeding it that the master cylinder would move probably 3-5mm (just a guess might be more) away from the fire wall. Got dark so didn't have a chance to tighten it up. I don't think that would really mess with much though. Damn you bone you probably cursed me now.

Re: Shifting issues with Prelude
 

you curse the facts?

I just guess the exact same thing on a Mustang.

Your slave needed bleeding anyways, cheap replacement, you would have had to do it within the next year anyways.

Re: Shifting issues with Prelude
 

No I just wanted someone to blame lol A Exedy stock style clutch will only be $125, but I just don't feel like dropping the tranny yet. Maybe this summer. As long as I remember to put it into 1st before coming to a complete stop I'm good. Well that and it doesn't like going from reverse to 1st.

Still going to try the other little things and keep my fingers crossed.
