Delay Orifice Mechanism (6-speed Manual Transmission)
Function
12-5
System Description
DELAY ORIFICE MECHANISM
SLAVE CYLINDER PISTONPISTON CYLINDER
The delay orifice mechanism improves clutch operation by delaying the slave cylinder release speed when the clutch
pedal is suddenly released. The delay orifice mechanism is built into the slave cylinder.

ORIFICE PART of FLOW
FLUID from PISTON CYLINDER
When the clutch pedal is pressed, the fluid pressure from the master cylinder moves the one-way valve in the
direction shown in the illustration. The fluid flows through two passages: the orifice part and the filter part. It then
flows out to the piston cylinder to release the pressure plate and clutch disc joint.
When the clutch pedal is released, the fluid pressure from the piston cylinder moves the one-way valve in the direction
shown in the illustration. The one-way valve blocks the filter-part passage and delays the clutch release speed by
returning the fluid to the master cylinder through only the orifice-part passage.

NOTE: Do not reuse the drained fluid. Always use Acura DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container.
Using a non-Acura brake fluid can cause corrosion
and shorten the life of the system.
Do not mix different brands of brake fluid; they may not be compatible.
Make sure the brake fluid is not contaminated with dirt or other foreign matter.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint or plastic. If brake fluid does contact the
paint or plastic, wash it off immediately with water.
If may be necessary to limit the movement of the release fork with a block of wood to remove all the air
from the system.
Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the clutch reservoir (A) is at the MAX (upper) l evel line (B).2. Attach the one end of a clear tube to the bleeder
screw (A), and put the other end into a container.
Loosen the bleeder screw to allow air to escape
from the system.
3. Make sure there is an adequate supply of fluid in the reservoir, then slowly push the clutch pedal all
the way down. Before releasing the pedal, have an
assistant temporarily tighten the bleeder screw.
Loosen the bleeder screw, and push the pedal
down again. Repeat this step until no more bubbles
appear at the clear tube.
NOTE: Make sure the fluid level on the reservoir
does not go below MIN.
4. Tighten the bleeder screw securely.
5. Refill the brake fluid in the reservoir to the MAX (upper) l evel line.
