hi scotty i drive an 88 acura legend and since i bought have always had the problem of a rock hard clutch pedal. how can i find the problem?

[scottykilmer]

@HAWKMENDOZA replace the clutch master cylinder and PRAY that fixes it. If not, time for a new clutch, and that's expensive pulling the tranny off

alright Scotty, I spent 2 days trying to figure this out. I installed the clutch master cylinder and clutch slave, after the install and everything i have someone with me pumping the pedal but up to now I don't have a pressure on the pedal. Did I miss something before the install? Please Help

@jcm724 na, some are just hard as hell to bleed. In such cases, I use phoenix injector, see my video "how to bleed brakes on your car" by typing that in the search on the scottykilmer channel. Same tool to do clutch

scotty, do u have to cover the reservoir while pumping the clutch pedal

[scottykilmer]

@jcm724 na, I never do. Just don't fill it all the way to the very top so it doesn't spill
