The car is a 99 Honda Prelude SH
A few months ago, it was hard to get into gear. I found out my clutch fluid reservoir was near empty. The clutch master cylinder didn't appear to be leaking, so I figured it was the slave cylinder. I replaced both and bled the system. The clutch pedal felt spongy at some times. So I re-bled it, and it was fine until . . .
Two weeks back, the same scenario happened. I noticed some brake fluid from the slave cylinder. So I got it replaced under warranty. Bled it again. The car was driving great, better than before until . . .
Christmas eve, I was driving to a friend's house and the clutch suddenly loses all pressure. I had to push the car into a parking lot and left it there. I went out there with my cousin to bleed it just to be able to drive home. I figured it was the hard line not fully tightened. So I tightened it and thought it was fine until . . .
This morning, I go to start my car. Once again, it is hard to get into gear. But the reservoir is full and I don't see fluid leaking.
Cliffs: New clutch master and slave cylinders. Car was driving fine and the clutch fluid reservoir is full at the moment, yet now it is hard to get into gear.
What could be the problem?
