soft clutch

[RsR]

This might sound stupid,but i have to ask.i have a 96 integra lately my clutch started to slip just alittle bit,when racing.this guy i talked to said i somehow got air in my tranny or clutch.and that i need to pump it out or bleed it somehow.is that even possible???

(as you can tell i dont know to much about clutch's sorry)

A few months back my clutch suddenly wouldn't engage until it was about an inch or two from the floor. Turned out my clutch master cylinder went bad on me. It didn't make my clutch feel like it was slipping though... anyway, my buddy fixed it for me and I learned how to bleed the clutch system. Theres a bleed valve in the front left area of the engine (this is a 95 GS-R mind you, don't know if the B18B is different) just for that purpose. To find it, just follow the hose coming from your clutch master cylinder across the back of the engine bay and then around to the left side, and voila!

The B18B has the bleeder in the front as well.

Try bleeding your system. Also check for leakage around the master and slave cylinder.

thanks guys ill try that and hopefully it will help.i really hope this helps cause i want to test my 1/4 mile next sunday..

bleeding the clutch is a pain in the ass, it takes awhile.....be prepared. its not hard to get to the bleeder or to crack it, or to press the pedal, but it just seemed to take a lot longer to do that than it did for me to bleed any corner of my brakes.

No offense all, but no one said what is involved in bleeding the line. First off, can someone explain what bleeding means? What happens when you remove the valve (or crack the valve like jung said); does fluid poor out? what makes this process a pain in the backside? why am i a reject? how come i can't figure this out for my own self? why do i have the same clutch problem on my 2000 type-r that i did with my 94 LS teg.
type-r mileage--39,000
LS mileage------41,000

oh, the master cylinder was replace under warranty in the LS. i have to bring the R in to find out the problem. seems like a defect in manufacturing of the integra clutch. dag nabbit
