Thumbs up Problem

My clutch keeps GOING!!!!!!

I had to bleed my clutch a few months back, which I did, and pretty much noticed a significant difference in my pedal reponse.

Once again gentlemen I find myself being dealt the same problem where my clutch doesn't engage until its more that 3/4's engaged (i.e. pushed to the floor)

I have no problem bleeding it again, but why's my clutch doing this, why's it "stooping" to that level where work has to be done??

Is it me? Is it my driving?? I don't push the hell outta my car guys, I barely Vtec

Is there something leaking you think??

Any $.02 will do....

First check the level of the clutch master to see if the fluid level is of, if not check inside the car where the clutch master cylinder comes through the firewall at the top of the clutch pedal to see if there is any leakage there. This is the most common spot for a leak to occur.

let's say hypothetically there is no leak at all......does anyone know why a clutch would have to be bled in general??

like what must a driver be doing to have to bleed it??

is cuz he might sit his foot on the clutch too often?

is it cuz he shifts too aggressively in high revs??

anyone??

It keeps going because it knows you haven't purchased a membership yet.

best answer to give you would be some sort of leak.
The only other thing I can think of could possibly be a worn clutch disk. However that would result in a constant low engagement point not it fading after time like you describe.

u might have a bad slave cylinder or clutch master cylinder but all signs point to a leak imo
