Clutch pedal
Thanks for the add I have a 96 honda accord ex 5 speed 2.2 and I replaced the slave cylinder after replacing that my clutch pedal does not spring back up I have replaced the master cylinder thinking it was bad. What could be the problem
I replace the slave cylinder after replacing that I had my brother help me bleed system when I pushed the clutch pedal down and it wouldn't spring back up so I thought master cylinder was bad so I replaced that part still does same thing I can open the bleeder valve the barely any fluid coming out when I pull clutch pedal up an push back down it will stay down until I pull it back up I can do that 20 times and open bleeder valve it don't shoot anything out
TIA

The pressure plate springs are what pushes the pedal back up, through the hydraulic system. So when bleeding, there's nothing pushing the pedal back up. That doesn't indicate a bad master cylinder.
I haven't done a 1996, but I think most Hondas have a helper spring that snaps the pedal down or up once you push it halfway.
Try this with your brother...
Loop a string around the clutch pedal so you can pull it back up.
Open the bleed valve, then push the pedal down. Use the string to control it smoothly without snapping quickly down.
Close the bleed valve, then pull the pedal up with the string, while controlling it with your foot so it doesn't snap quickly up.
Keep repeating.
Once you guys get into a rhythm, keep going without dawdling. You don't want to pause long enough for air bubbles to float upwards in the lines.
I've noticed that if you let the pedal snap quickly up, that tends to suck air into the master cylinder.
I think the easiest way is using a pressure bleeder, pushing fluid into the slave cylinder. Of course, you have to own a pressure bleeder - that's why I asked what method you are using.
