    So I just changed my CMC and Slave cylinder out last weekend with the K-tuned and I found that by unbolting the brake reservoir and moving it to the side that it opens up a straight shot to the CMC which made it so much easier to get to. I was able to change both parts and bleed the system in about an hour. What a difference it made to my 2007 Civic Si 4 door. I like your videos because you keep shit real and don't act like your the greatest Civic mechanic on the planet like some of these other dudes do on here. Keep up the good work and Video's

      Im about to do my CMC tomorrow. On my way home from the store today I stopped at a stop sign, took in 1st gear and went to shift to 2nd and i my pedal went straight to the floor. Got her home, reservoir was empty, filled it and tried bleeding it and heard air when i depressed the clutch pedal when it was under pressure with fluid in the lines. Im thinking the leak is at the valve on my OEM CMC but wont know until i take it out

    Thank you for the how to! For most people who dont know, the stock CMC and Slave cylinder are designed for "comfort" clutch engagement and can prematurely ware parts. This is why the OEM CMC doesnt last like older ones. The K-Tuned CMC and slave make eliminate the slower engagement and oil restriction, making it more responsive, but can shock your drive train if you are not careful.

    • @TheGerbsteve
      @TheGerbsteve  Před 4 lety +6

      It worked! I just replaced the front pads and rotors back in April and had a bottle of fluid that was almost full. I flushed the line until the new fluid came out and now it's shifting like new! The only thing I had to buy was a $9 bleeder kit from O'Reilly. If only the CBR was that easy to fix...

    • @TheGerbsteve
      @TheGerbsteve  Před 6 lety +1

      That’s what’s up! I’m glad that it was something small. Fluid gets filthy relatively quickly, allowing moisture to get into the lines. Also, debris sometimes get into the reservoir.

    • @elmSTREETnasty

I know hybrid racing sells a similar kit and you had to swap some of the internal stock cmc parts like the rod and retainer to the new cmc, do you have to do that with the K-tuned kit as well or is it a direct bolt on?

    • @jimmiewilson8526
      @jimmiewilson8526 Před 7 lety +7

      sabastian kimball requires 2 people. One at the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder, and one inside the cab pumping the clutch pedal. Pump pedal 7-15 times then hold pedal down to floor with some tension, the other guy cracks the bleeder valve and closes with in a 5 second time frame. DO NOT RELEASE PEDAL UNTIL BLEEDER VALVE IS CLOSED. Repeat till it's fully liquid shooting out of bleeder valve! then, your golden. That's it. Easy savings of 100 bucks.

    • @sdannenberg3
      @sdannenberg3 Před 6 lety +1

      You don't bleed the master cylinder. There is only one bleed point in the system, and that is after the slave cylinder. The bleeder valve is located on the top of the slave.

    I bought the K-tuned CMC replacement part - havent installed it - didnt know that I could/should get the aftermarket slave unit as well. Would just changing the CMC and not the slave (keeping OEM slave) still be beneficial or should they really be installed as a pair?

    • @TheGerbsteve
      @TheGerbsteve  Před 7 lety

      You're going to love it. Honestly, i stuck with an oem slave because i like the feel of it. Believe me, you will feel the difference between cmc's. I wouldn't worry about buying a k tuned slave, you'll be fine with oem, unless you hate the "delay feel."

    • @RealEnglishNow
      @RealEnglishNow Před 7 lety +1

      I thought the aftermarket CMC got rid of the shift delay - are you saying that only coupled with an aftermarket slave will I get that no-delay shift benefit? And if that is the case - what does upgrading the CMC (and not the slave) do on its own - in other words, what are these improvements you mention that I can expect to feel when finally installing the CMC? Thanks for your video and reply!

    • @TheGerbsteve
      @TheGerbsteve  Před 7 lety +1

      +Gahechi Esmichi Slave mostly. Aftermarket CMC helps with quick/smoother shifts. No, mine paired with the oem slave is awesome. I have a slight delay, but i like it like that. The CMC makes the clutch pedal a bit stiffer & helps with certain gear issues. You'll see what I mean when you install it. Pretty sure it's stronger material (mainly the rod) on the k tuned CMC over oem, meaning it can take a beating. Also, replace your oem clutch line to a stainless steel line. Its way easier to install, disassemble.

    • @RealEnglishNow
      @RealEnglishNow Před 7 lety +1

      thanks again for the info/reply. I went ahead and ordered the k-tuned slave as well - only $70 bucks or so so why not. The CMC kit that I got from k-tuned came with a new clutch line - i expect it to be of better quality than OEM. im really looking forward to installing it - your video has given me the confidence ive been lacking to do the job myself. Thanks again man!

I had enough and went OEM will an EM2 slave....no issues... till now my KTUNED CMC started to leak from the rubber seal as-well. Im done!! Getting an OEM EM2 one as well. I think they should stop making the Slaves and CMC units.

      +Neil Bennett If I could go back, I would've done the k tuned slave as well because I currently have an oem one. Upgraded slave (ktuned, em1, or w.e) are modded, so there is no delay between shifting. Oem slave on the si's have a delay valve or something similar to it that pretty much cause a slight lag between shifts. People modify the oem slave all the time. Hope this helps bro
