[@Cadfreak72]

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

[@ADUBchroNICK]

I'm having issues shifting when my 08 si is warm. Could replacing the CMC fix this issue? Or should I just adjust my clutch pedal first?

[@raymondhashem7738]

Nick G bro what did you do??? it’s happening to me and idk what’s wrong with it, what should i do to fix the issue?

[@robertjackson4642]

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

[@Cadfreak72]

@@robertjackson4642 the stock cmc and the stock slave cylinder worked great until they have there first problem and once that happen they will never work right again. I highly, highly, highly recommend changing both the CMC and slave cylinder at the same time. I put the K-Tune cmc and slave cylinder kit on my 07 si ( well its now my sons car) when I did mine and its still on the car and has no problem at

[@Cadfreak72]

Bleed the shit out of it to. Send me a message if you run into any problem and I help you in anyway possible.

[@troygreenfilms]

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]

Np bro! Yup, stock cmc and slave for butter smooth gear transitions. K tuned is nice, but remember something, you can't beat oem reliability.

[@rehanali-hy9tk]

Thanks for information but could please elaborate what could go wrong to drive train under what circumstances???

I might go with the em1 route since it’s oem on my 9th gen.

I'm ordering the cmc kit this week. when my car is cold my clutch is floppy and light. I adjusted the clutch pedal and made it hard. I also replaced the clutch starter switch cause the stock one was broken. hopefully this solves my problem. I'm tired of warming up my car for 10 to 15 mins so my clutch works properly...great video!! I'll do my best as always. God bless 1

[@Esuper1]

You gotta show the bleeding. That's an important part. Was that hard, easy?

[@harrylou90]

Back to your vids again man. I'm pretty sure my cmc went out. Like it was popping forever as they do. Until one day it made a weird pop snap noise from the pedal/cmc. Now it's really hard to get into gear when the engine is on. I feel like it's the cmc?? I need to get one in a pinch so I can get the job done this weekend when I have a moment. Do you think I'll be fine on the same csc?? Is it worth it to get oem at double the price of the rock auto special??

Hey brother, so I changed by CSC and the CMS and I'm trying to bleed it but my Clutch has NO give. When I push in the clutch it stays against the wall when it's all the way push in. Any help would be highly appreciated

[@lazyhl1994]

Do you have a video on how to bleed the clutch fluid? Where is the black bleeder cap located? Is it on the CMC or slave cylinder?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Unfortunately i don't. The bleeder valve is on the left side of the slave cylinder. You need to put a plastic see through hose over it and crack it open.

[@FPSAnarchy]

where did get the clutch lines? can i buy them at any store, like universal? my hardlines were rusted and i guess i need new lines.

[@rafaelalmanza5020]

Can you let me know exactly on part numbers you used. Just want to order the right stuff. Great video. Did you have a problem bleeding the system?

[@Cardude369]

thank you for the video my CMC and slave just crapped out 130K miles

[@TheGerbsteve]

Sorry to hear man, but now you have an idea on how to replace it 🤙🏼

[@Dan-lx7ok]

With the hose clamps they're a lot easier to take off if you throw an 8mm or 1/4" socket over them rather than the flathead if you haven't done it that way before

[@elmSTREETnasty]

4:54 slave cylinder. Just posting that for future reference. I have a 2007 EX and there's almost no tension in the clutch. The fluid looks horrible, so I'm hoping all I need to do is bleed and replace it. Awesome video!

[@TheGerbsteve]

Start with changing the fluid, honda oem brake fluid. Start with that & take it from there. Thank you sir

[@elmSTREETnasty]

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]

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]

Yeah man the reservoir was nasty. I cleaned out all the small stuff with a q tip. Still a hell of a lot easier than replacing the slave and/or CMC.

[@juanclaudio7821]

Good video man. Keep up the good work.

[@youngboyharless9769]

would this be the first "mod" you would do if you wanted to be able to shift hard when you feel like it? My 9th gen si locks up past 6k going into second.. and it's annoying/grinding my gears.

[@TheGerbsteve]

+Taylor Harless I would highly recommend k tuned cmc for shifting fast and hard man. I though they improved all the problems when they made the 9th gen, that's crazy. If you keep grinding, you're going to need to get tranny work done, which can be pretty pricey

[@youngboyharless9769]

nope... freakin honda lol I think they made it as a "safety" feature. And yea man.. i don't want tranny work having to be done. Car only has 74xxx. Today i kept my rpms between 2.7 and 4.5 just putting around town and the shift were very smooth. So until the cmc is swapped i'll just keep it around half throttle :) thx for the reply man, I wish you and your si well. (don't let any idiots wreck into it!)

[@TheGerbsteve]

+Taylor Harless she's a baby. I was deciding whether or not I want to upgrade to a 9th gen si or not. That's exactly what I was going to tell you to do, see, you know what you have to do 👍🏼. Let me know how you make out

[@natenewberry817]

thanks literally doing same to my 06 si

[@TheGerbsteve]

+Nate Newberry Let me know how you make out

[@johnathanrivera3858]

Great video mate, i wonder if you still have thats k tuned hoses, I installed the hardmotion cmc and it great but because of my battery relocation the hoses in the slave part it a bit stressed. That 90* and 180* degrees fittings are what i need. I you still have it can you sell it or at least let me know how can i fix my problem?

[@theradkab27]

Hey man great video appreciate the information, just had a quick question about the internals of the CMC. 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?

[@TheGerbsteve]

+theradkab27 K tuned is direct bolt on bro. I didn't want to do any swapping, but I heard hybrid racing is just as good

[@RealEnglishNow]

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]

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]

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]

+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]

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!

[@kxjonathankx]

That's something i am still working on myself haha

[@scrad7144]

@Gerb Productions should you change your slave with your cmc? I only ordered my cmc thinking that’s why I can’t get my car into gear when the car is running

[@TheGerbsteve]

Yes, highly advice it. New clutch line too

[@rveasna22]

I'm about to be replacing my cmc and slave with a dealer part. Will be doing in a couple days. I'm still going to be using original clutch hard lines. Will I be able to remove the cmc and slave without unmounting the hardline like you did?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Dude, upgrade your hardline to flexible, stainless steel, they're wayyyy nicer

[@rveasna22]

Gerb Productions thanks for the suggestion. I have it all back installed and works perfectly. I got the updated OEM cmc and slave from dealer. Reused the hardline and works perfectly. It's my daily so no need for the flexible steel line yet.

[@flavrdPnut]

Gerb! Dude my 09’ FG2 is locking me out of 2nd and grinding the shit out of it. I’m sure you have talked about it. If you had this problem did changing the CMC and slave solve the problem? If my 2nd is shot then I might just get rid of it, trans work is to much$.. let me know bro! Thanks!

[@XeninWorx]

Just installed mine. Was installing an IMG so figured while everything is apart, might as well install the K-Tuned CMC and slave. Wasn’t that hard to anyone interested in doing it. Putting everything back together now so haven’t tested it yet.

[@XeninWorx]

WOW, what a difference that made. No gear grinding. Chirps going into 3rd at 4000rpm, damn! Engagement is higher and has a slight vibration when I push the pedal down. This is a well worth mod.

[@TheGerbsteve]

+Charles Michael I replaced both due to my 2nd & third gear acting up. I will be putting up a follow up vid letting you know it the k-tuned fixed the problem

[@thewalmarttyper]

Did you bench bleed the master or did you just bleed jt after everything was installled?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Bled it after everything was installed

[@sabastiankimball494]

Yo do an update of how to bleed out all the air I sit there for hours pumping the pedal how'd you do it? Please it would be a huge help man

[@jimmiewilson8526]

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]

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.

[@phajej1993]

Tips: 1. remove the seat 2. place the cmc into position and push the hardline to place it in directly 3 thank me latet

[@A8pri]

Why did you change the slave cylinder, my 2008 honda civc si doesnt change into gears unless I turn it off and this happen when I was driving to work and I tried go to 3rd gear put wouldnt let me. Do you think it's the clutch or master cylinder??

[@TheGerbsteve]

Because my whole clutch went, so why not upgrade everything. I hate to say this, but i had the same issue. It ended up being my clutch that failed.

[@flavrdPnut]

This may be a dumb question but when you put the new cmc into holes are the lines to be facing down or up?

[@ricky5176]

Thanks for sharing man. Considering if I should do the same on my car. Currently, the clutch clicks when I press it. Also 1st to 2nd isn't always a smooth shift. Well see what are my options Thanks

[@TheGerbsteve]

You got it... Honestly, I've been hearing about people complaining a lot about k tuned products, including the cmc. I'm thinking maybe you should just get a newer oem one, but that's your call. Thanks for the love

[@Nismo2868]

Going to be doing almost the same in a couple weeks, but I wanted to know what are the benefits of upgrading the slave as well?

[@TheGerbsteve]

+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

[@crazyartistic]

Hey brotha did the steel braided line come with the kit or where did you purchase it at and what size? Thanks man love the detailed videos! Keep up the great work!

[@thomasproulx2688]

First off thank you for the awesome videos bro. I think I speak for everyone of your subscribers when I say we appreciate the positive attitude and love for the Honda scene. With that being said I was wondering if the k-tuned cmc and slave had that much of an improvement on your shifting ? Really thinking of replacing mine on my 07 FA5... thanks in advance

[@TheGerbsteve]

+Thomas Proulx Means a lot man! I always try to be positive man. Honestly, they had an improvement, but it's my transmission that is shot, I believe. Under high rpms, it doesn't shift as fast as it should. It also winds here and there. I'm looking into transmissions. I would upgrade for sure though

Bro are you still rocking this ktuned bolt on cmc and slave ? Any stupid things yet.? Been awhile.

[@TheGerbsteve]

I’m still rocking the ktuned cmc and oem slave and love the set up!

[@anthonyalford397]

@@TheGerbsteve oem slave? Ohh so all you did was ktuned cmc and reused oem slave. So it cost less bcuz only cmc

[@Nismo2868]

Attempted to do this earlier this week. How did you go about getting the new CMC back in the firewall, you had to do it blindly right?

[@TheGerbsteve]

+Neil Bennett Blindly... A lot of touch & feel. It takes a little while to align the CMC into the holes on the back wall. Take your time with it 👌🏼

[@Nismo2868]

It really was a bitch to get out man but thanks for the video guide man

[@jorgecardenas3499]

GREAT VIDEO THAT'S A LOT OF HELP !!!!! WHERE DO U GOT THE CLUTCH LINE FROM ?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Thank you! I ordered mine from eBay bro

[@jackfrost8854]

Big thanks for this vid.Just replaced my CMC and slave on my 2006 si with a new OEM updated CMC/Slave.Also went with the Valex line,made the install much easier.Had to adjust the rod on the new CMC to get it to function correctly(Better than new now).Keep up the good work....

[@TheGerbsteve]

How is the updated oem cmc? I almost went with that over my Ktuned cmc. The valex like is worth every $1.

[@jackfrost8854]

@@TheGerbsteve No doubt the valex line makes the install really easy.As for the OEM CMC updated unit it is a MASSIVE improvement.After the install i bleed the line many times.Then started the car to go into gear/No dice.Much worst then before(Lock out of all gears,before it was 2nd and sixth gear).Ready to give up and go to the dealer but i decided to adjust the rod on the CMC.After this i could feel the difference in the pedal feel(much firmer) and sure enough it went into ever gear silky smooth.

[@jerinmas507]

Gerb, after 7 months would you recommend k tuned cmc?

[@TheGerbsteve]

+Jerin Mas Worth every $1.00

[@DG-nb3hi]

Yo Gerb are you still running this s Cmc and slave setup? I did mine about 1000 miles ago no problems yet but I keep hearing bad things about them. Bit tbh its been working great for me I can now red line from 1st to 2nd no grinds. Im getting the HR short shifter and and shifter cables next

[@TheGerbsteve]

I am man. KTuned cmc, oem honda slave FTW! I have about 60k miles on them both ;)

[@DG-nb3hi]

@@TheGerbsteve i have the k tuned slave hopefully it wont give any problems in the near future. I also did the exedy stage 1 clutch and lightweight flywheel the car feels great.

[@DG-nb3hi]

Btw are you planning on using the alpha header on the k24?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Yeah man. I’m going to try and fit the alpha header onto the k24. If I have issues, I’ll just sell alpha for something that’ll fit, like dc sports, plm, etc.

[@DG-nb3hi]

[@GT-dk6eu]

Thanks for the video dude, about to try this today.

[@TheGerbsteve]

Hope it helps you out man

[@VictorRodriguez-bp7ix]

What are the symptoms of a failing master cylinder? And would it damage the transmission?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Fluid leaks, soft pedal, pedal to the floor, shift grinding. They can damage a transmission

[@natefg2398]

What up bro, I was just wondering if there was a specific reason you didn't get the k tuned slave? I'm still learning myself.. keep up the good content.

[@TheGerbsteve]

No specific reason, I just wanted to run oem slave. I also heard most aftermarket slaves leak fluid. More coming for ya soon

[@AJGenuine]

Hey Gerb, where did you get the silver line from ? It looks way easier to install the Cmc with it

[@TheGerbsteve]

I bought it from eBay man. I hated the k tuned black one. The silver is wayyyy easier to install and has no bends near the ends.

[@AJGenuine]

Thank you bro !

[@edgimeno550]

hi gerb, are you still using that master cylinder? or what do you recommend?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Yessir, Ktuned cmc, oem slave ftw!

[@theoneofone2992]

GERB TURNS OUT THE CMC WAS MISSING A BOLT ON THE ACTUAL CMC. ITS GOT LIKE 3 ON TOP AND ONE WAS BROKEN OFF. DON'T ASK ME HOW IT HAPPENED. WEIRD. NOW I BOUGHT AN OEM ONE AND DO YOU RECOMMEND I BUY THE STEEL LINE FROM VALEX??

[@TheGerbsteve]

+Sti Wrx Yes, buy the steel line man. You said the car doesn't go into any gears???

[@theoneofone2992]

Gerb Productions yeah it dont. When the car if off you can put it into any gear without the clutch but when you turn it on it dont let you.

[@theoneofone2992]

Gerb Productions maybe due to the leaky cmc its not building enough to engage the pressure plate

[@TheGerbsteve]

+Sti Wrx I had that same problem. I ended up replacing the CMC and slave & my clutch shit the bed completely not long after. I hope it's only a quick fix man. It could just be your CMC, not 100% sure

[@theoneofone2992]

Gerb Productions gerb what are the steps you did to re.pressurize the clutch line.

[@PobreGaming]

hi gerb i think you should bench bleed your master cylinder before putting it on, ull prolly have a hard time getting those air out of the mcm.

[@TheGerbsteve]

I actually think i have a tad bit of air in there currently, so i might try to bleed it again soon.

[@joshd8894]

hey gerb i had a question, so on my si it is all stock i believe, it is hard to get into the gears and second will feel like it goes in but then grinds sometimes i just got the car and when im at a dead stop and try to put it in 1st or reverse it doesnt go in easy at all but when im trying to push it in the car is starting to roll. im thinking it may be the clutch is not fully disengaging but im not sure, id like to get your opinion on the matter?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Start small man, Transmission fluid change, shifter bushings, clutch fluid replacement, etc. See if any of those make a difference.

[@joshd8894]

I figured it out, it was the clutch pedal whoever changed the clutch before I bought it didnt adjust the pedal so it wasnt fully disengaging but I adjusted it and now it is. Thank you for the advice tho!

[@slybird411]

what stainless line was that and can it be fitted to the OEM Master cylinder? i just have the ktuned slave ready to install on my SI

[@TheGerbsteve]

It's a Valex racing off eBay. It will fit the oem master. Run the stainless steel line, it's 10X better than the oem restrictive hardline.
