I forgot to mention that I couldn't find the bracket that attaches the clutch pedal assembly up top. When I got to the diagram for the pedals it's not there. Do you know a part number? I might just get some brackets and make one.

MurkyRiversTL

I dont think its gonna be there, you are going to have to make some kind of bracket. When I had the master cylinder from the civic on there I had a bracket, but when I put the one for the cl I didnt. It works just fine with minimal movement. However, I did have to put washers between the clutch mount and the firewall, because when it was all the way tight it still had some play in it..... that could be your problem too.

Dont forget to check all the lines to make sure they are tight..... any looseness can ca=use air to get in there, or fluid to come out.

If you dont have the CL clutch pedal you will have to make a little bracket I used 2 pieces of angle iron put together to make a sideways U and adjusted them to fit in the opening to bolt the pedal to the upper bracket. You really need that bracket. Fabricate what ever you can to get the 2 to bolt up

I do have the CL pedal, but it doesn't line up. I see the two holes above the pedal but the pedal doesn't reach far enough to be able to work. I bought a few brackets at Home Depot and am going to see what I can do with them.

Well, I finally got a bracket made for the clutch pedal. I just picked up two L-brackets from Home Depot and screwed them together.



Here's the gap between the pedal and the car itself




Here's the bracket




And here's it installed






Finally back on the road again

MurkyRiversTL

did it make a difference, was it really moving that much?

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Mine was, I'm not sure about yours.


When I pushed down on the pedal, the whole assembly moved and only allowed the pedal to pull on the master cylinder like halfway. I didn't even need to bleed the lines after I put the new bracket on. The air I thought was in my lines and not allowing the clutch to engage was just the master cylinder not traveling all the way.

MurkyRiversTL

hmmmmm...... maybe I should check mine...... although I already know that I have a bad slave cylinder...... just dont have the money to buy a new one.


Wanna donate?

fsttyms1

Yea you will want to add that bracket.

Good job kris.

fsttyms1

Yep

Humm weird? I would have thought it would have.

MurkyRiversTL

I have the cl pedal too and it doesnt line up right. I started with the s2000 pedal but when I saw it didnt line up right i went with the cls pedal..... still didnt line up right.


guess I should make a bracket lol...... oh wait I already have one.... just need to install it.

6MTUA5

I had to buy my slave on credit

Aww thanks



Yea it didn't line up at all, I'm still not sure how yours lines up. Or did you say that you had to make a bracket as well?

I highly recommend that you do. It only cost me $3.76 at Home Depot

MurkyRiversTL

its all good..... ill have to do the same.


I know, ive just been to lazy to do it.... I think ill do it now though, so I stop checking Kris' thread.

I'm going to eventually get my new master cylinder on there as well. When I did the big order from the first few pages of this thread, I ordered a new CL-S clutch master cylinder but I am missing one little piece (the metal connector that attaches the master cylinder to the metal fluid line) so I couldn't use that one and had to get an old one from an old Integra at the junk yard. I'm sure it has at least 100K miles on it (the car not the part) so it is pretty worn out. All the dealerships I've talked to can't find the last part I need, they keep sending me the wrong part. I think there's something wrong with the parts database b/c every dealership has that little metal piece on back order; no one in the US can even get one right now.

so go to a junk yard and take one off of a CL-S 6speed

ChrisQ1980

CL-S 6spd in a junkyard is pretty rare as well. lol

Especially considering we only have one around here that never has anything good there

Thats very true. I got lucky :P.

In northern california, every large city seems to have a junkyard. HAP located in sacramento about 20 minutes away from UC Davis (where i goto school) has like 3 acres worth of honda and acura parts. Back in san jose, theres a little block where theres a bunch of junk yards that specialize in certain types of cars. B2 Auto dismanters is where i found my CL-S 6mt. lemme know if you need to look for any parts, maybe i can help you find it here.

fsttyms1

I had to fabricate the bracket as well. I used a Civic pedal and master cyl

MurkyRiversTL

Made the bracket.... pedal feels better, but I definitely have a faulty part. Either th eslave or master cylinder..... Ill have to wait to see which it is..... but Im pretty sure its the slave.

fsttyms1

Id start out with the slave first as ive had them go bad on other hondas

MurkyRiversTL

yeah that's what I was planning..... just gotta do it.

When's that pesky dash going to get taken care of? Ohhh and the camera was upside down lol.

I am having some problems shipping my speed sensors down to Joe so he can finish making my harness (UPS FTL). Once I get those down to him he can finish and send my harness. I'll be getting the CL-S gauges soon too.

LOL yea I was having trouble trying to figure out how to mount the camera good. This was me holding it in my mouth by the piece that screws to the bottom to attach it to a tripod. Later, I attached it by the wrist strap to the passenger headrest post, but it was too low and you couldn't see the road that well. I finally put the camera on the tripod and strapped the tripod to the left part of the passenger seat.

I think uyou meant to post this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5O37E-M&feature=user
and are you hitting vtec now, or did it just sound like it.

MurkyRiversTL

NM you caught it

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Yea I just realized that I messed up the link but I fixed my post.

Nope, not hitting VTEC. Still in limp mode. Do you see how early I'm having to shift?

That second video was uphill BTW.

MurkyRiversTL

huh... that sucks.... Well hopefully you get that shit taken care of soon, your missing out on the full potential.

To bad you live in Florida, we should have a 6spd swap meet..... like in kansas so its equal distance for everybody (Kansas is in the middle of the country right? lol)

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Yea we got NY, FL, WI, CA

heyitsvu

iTrader: (1)

hey Kris, how come VTEC isnt kicking in? is it cause of the harness you're waiting on?

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Yea the ECU is running in "limp mode" b/c it isn't getting signals from the automatic trans.
