Default bleed the clutch?

Yesterday during the storm my clutch lost power about 2 blocks away from my house. I got it home let it sit and it still doesn't have power. Should i try to bleed the line or could it be something else?

The same happen to my roomate. Check your fluid level. If it seems unusually low bleed the clutch. You might have air in the lines. Should be pretty easy to do.

Another common prelude problem, the clutch master cylinder probably went bad.. look down under the dash to the shaft that goes through the firewall thats connected to the clutch pedal.. you will probably see it leaking there..

Buy a new one on ebay or something(thats what I did, $30), and replace it/bleed the system with new fluid. You could change the slave cylinder as well, on the trans, but I didn't

I will check the shaft tommarow when its light outside and if all else i'll just attemp to bleed the clutch and hopefully it works.

Are you guys talking about how short and weak the clutch is? I could just tap my clutch and it would allow me to shift, but than it would not eat into the gears. Is there a way to adjust this?? The car is a 96 prelude, F 22 motor. Thanks.
