Civic EG

Today my clutch pedal just took a crap ....... it was working fine but now it's all wobbly and it has a very hard Time I engaging ....... I checked and its leaking inside behind the pedal from the master cylinder I'm guessing...... Idk what to do or how to do it and I can't shift gears consistently enough to try and drive it some where ...... Help

it's time to replace the clutch Master cylinder.

I've done a few but never took pics to write up a how-to. It's easy though.

disconnect the clutch pedal from that rod by pulling the pin out. Then go under the hood and remove the clutch line from the master cyl housing. Also disconnect the 2 wires going to the plastic tank, or maybe they only go to the lid- if that's the case then just remove the lid.
Then go back under the dash and remove the nuts on the bolts holding the clutch pedal to the firewall. Then the master cylinder will be loose and you can pull it right out of the engine bay.
Install in reverse order and then bleed the clutch line when youre done by using the bleeder screw on the slave cyl.

when bleeding a clutch you have to have the valve tight(closed) before releasing the pedal then open again after the pedal is pressed again.

You said in another post that you used an S2000 master cylinder - was it a straight fit and what year was it from (if age matters)?

any year S2000 should do, they're all the same.

it was a straight fit

The clutch pedal seems to have less travel now for faster shifts like a short throw shifter. it feels a little more firm as well.

S2000 master cly. Sound cool can u give more info. Of jow u did it...

it's exactly how I posted above, direct swap. so it's like putting the civic master cyl in except the plastic fluid tank is attached so it's one piece instead of a hose running to the tank mounted to the shock tower.

I read some where that if you swap it that way u need a spacer because the rod is slightly longer in the s2k cmc then my eg's ...... And I already orderd the new cmc and it'll be my first write up

I didn't check the rod lengths, but the end of the rod is threaded so you can fine tune the overall length

i believe you need the spacer for it.




anyways a how to for the S2K clutch master.

i myself have the Omni power cmc on mine. and its short stroke and nice.

That's exactly what I orderd the s2k omni ....... did u need the spacer?..... and I like the steel braided replace of the hardlines I might do it too ....

Looking at that spacer, why not just change the length by adjusting the threaded end of the rod?

I didn't use the spacer but I have only driven my car in/out of the garage once and it felt alright.

does the hard lines fit right into the s2k master clutch cylinder? or does it require a bit of bending?

the s2k is on the side while the oem one has the line coming out on the top, so no. I already had a braided stainless line & fitting so it wasn't an issue. But you would have an extra step to deal with.
