How to Bleed the Clutch on a 1993 Honda Accord
When you depress the clutch pedal, the 1993 Accord's clutch slave cylinder uses the hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to push in the shift fork and retract the clutch from the flywheel, allowing you to shift gears. If you push the Accord's clutch pedal and it does not fully disengage the clutch, or if the pedal feels too spongy, bleed the system.
