what up CI..just recently bought and DB8 a couple months ago...was driving fine...car is completely stock..now my clutch pedal goes down half way before catching..any suggestions on what it could be?..help!?!

Possible that it could be air in the system bleed the clutch and see if it helps... Also check for leaks around the slave cylinder and or the master cylinder.

update!...I'm such a noob that I totally forgot about the clutch master cylinder...just checked it and its completely dry...and theres my problem....but Can I just pour regular manual trans fluid in there? or can do I have to use Honda brand?

 

[Jdm Dina]

Brake fluid is what goes there

Its dot3 brake fluid in the master cylinder.

I just used the prestone stuff around my house from vatozone. Seems to work well.

for the clutch master cylinder? ...just wanna make sure before I mess something up

 

[96LSteg]

yes its dot3 brake fluid...It even says it on the cap of the master cylinder

transmission fluid is made for lubrication not for hydraulic applications. Brake fluid on the other hand is a hydraulic fluid and you have a hydraulic clutch so thats the fluid you need.

thank you...ill try that...

update...and we are successful...BUT now...should i still bleed the slave cylinder?...
When i first poured the brake fluid in it didnt come up completely but gotten better...now its fine...suggestions?

Yes bleed the slave. You will need to have someone pump the pedal while you bleed
