Well I had to replace both the clutch and slave cylinder today. Let me first say F#@k that project it only took like five hours form start to finish. The clutch cylinder was my first step in this project the only easy part was unscrewing the bolts from the firewall. Then came the part of fighting with the saftepin that took like 30min :mad: after that it was pretty much down hill until I had to reinstall the pin that held the piston to the clutch pedal another 30min :mad: give or take. Then I figured I would replace the slave before I went to hook up the pipe on the outer part of the clutch. So I jack up the car and rollunder the sweet ladies :biggrin: to get a peak under the dress. HAHA :eek: To my supprise the slave was pretty damn easy only took 20 min I think then I figured I would screw in the piping to the clutch cyl and what do I get nothing but hell I was fighting whit it for like a half hour. At that point I went under the dash agene to unscrew it and remove it to hook up the pipe pretty easy until I had to reinstall that damn pin agene :mad: 15 min this time because I slapped the clutch pedal to the floor in anger and damn it slid right in :rolleyes: Then from that point I had my buddy start pumping the clutch to bleed the system I was under the car doing the good old UP/ DOWN and so on and so on. Five min go by and nothing im thinking wtf I glance over at my empty Pepsi bottle that the hose was going in to and the damn thing was kinked :mad: I fix that problem and wale it bleeding :smile: a few more min of pumping and we hear a bubbling sound at this point I was working my last good nerve. I look at the clutch slave and I didn’t have it set right first thing that came to my mind im screwed but I was able to save it before I had to buy a new one thank god. So after five hours and $200 dollars in parts from dali and every thing is working like new and I have save my self a lot of cash over what Acura was going to charge me it was almost $800 dollars :eek:

P.S.
I might have saved some time by reading the do it yourself tips. Butt im a guy and I can do that crap.
