Thanks for posting. If you haven't already, try changing the transmission fluid while performing other scheduled maintenance. When I test drove it, I hated how stiff and knotchy the transmission shifted. I did this on my wife's Element SC manual shift (it's been awhile but I believe I used the Honda OEM fluid). Next time she drove the Element, she asked what I did to the transmission because it shifted so much smoother.

I replace my transmission oil once a year or so. It's over kill but It's my way of insuring there are no leaks.

Hi, thanks for the video super helpful . I have a question for you regarding this process. I had a similar thing happened where the pedal just went to the floor and wouldn’t decompress. So I changed the slave cylinder in my 03 element . After changing it , should the pedal return to its proper position ? Mine did not, I tried bleeding it and air would push through but the pedal never went back to normal or stiffen up. Still just goes in and doesn’t come out. Am I doing something wrong maybe or is it the clutch most likely ? I am unable to the fork by hand. Which I thought would indicate the plate is still functioning. Thanks for any suggestions . Dan

It's hard to say without seeing it first hand but if you know the system is bled and there is no air in it than it's most likely the clutch.

Nice job. I have had luck just gravity bleeding the clutch hydraulic system starting with my '84 Celica GTS, '01 PT Cruiser and latest, my '05 Element. That damper in the clutch MC may have thwarted your first attempt at bleeding by pumping the slave cylinder. I thought was a great idea if you don't have a helper to pump the clutch. I can't recall what the FSM says about the push rod adjustment but I left just a tiny bit of wiggle; not more than about a 1/4" at the rubber pad. At that point, the push rod is neither bearing down on the MC or being pulled back by the return spring. Happy shifting!

I had a little luck with the gravity bleed on the master but that slave just wasn't having it.

hello, when you do the gravity bleed, you just let it come out the fluid for how long you do it?? about 10 minutes??? I always do the bottle with the liquid by myself

@@dannynica7480 Depends on how fast the brake fluid drains out. For every oz that trickles out, pour a fresh oz in the reservoir until no more bubbles are seen. Pumping the clutch helps to clear any air inside the master cylinder but since there's no pressure made, it's not going to force fluid down to the slave cylinder.

You might as well be naked if you don’t have a pocket knife.
