OK everyone I need some help. .I own an 08 Evo X gsr and I was driving home the other night and the hard brake line to my front left caliper broke. . I lost all my brake fluid and my clutch started slipping. . I was almost 2 hours from home and in the middle of no where with no cell service so I limped her home and parked it.. I ordered a new hard line from the dealership and got it installed. . I bled my brakes and bleed my cmc but when I tried bleeding my slave cylinder I couldn't get the piston to push into the slave body. . I'm assuming it's because my clutch adjusted itself so far out that valve in my cmc is stuck closed and wont let the fluid back up into the reservoir. . Is this right? Any input on this situation would be greatly appreciated. . Thank you and sorry about the extra long post.

 

Anyone with any ideas? I started my car and tried putting it in 1st and all I got was grinding. . Same with the rest of the gears. . I think my clutch is too far out of adjustment and isn't pushing enough to engage my clutch. . Am I going to have to buy an aftermarket cmc so I can adjust it because there is no adjustment on stock Evo x cmc

 

i would try to bleed the cmc a few more times first to see if that helps. Had one prelude once give me hell on bleeding it.. it took forever to get the damn thing to work..

 

OK I'll give it a try in the morning.. thanks for the info I'll let ya know how it goes

 

What are the chances I smoked my clutch? I didn't smell it so I'm hoping it's still good

 

I would say not great. Your engagement point would have faded fast and you would have just been unable to shift. If the car was in gear then it doesn't matter if it has pressure or not. The cmc's only job is to shift gears. I think ur clutch is fine. Also I would do a little research on how to properly bleed it because a lot of people try to pump it like you do brakes which is not the right way and run into problems.

 

Bleed the clutch again. If fluid got super low you probably drew air into the system, which can take a while to get out. Sometimes its easier to get it out with a mitivac.

 

Ya I had read not to pump it so didn't.. when my buddy gets here we'll work on bleeding it. . Thanks guys I'll post the results
