Post prelude clutch problem

i have a 1996 honda prelude.when i push in the clutch it feels like im pushing air until about a inch or two before i hit the floor and then it grabs a little. kinda hard to get into gear and shift but i still can drive it.it just all of a sudden started doing it.any help would be great.

Default Re: prelude clutch problem

probably your clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder. you should probably check the fluid in the clutch master cylinder first

i checked the fluid ti was low so i filled up and my clutch got a little stiffer than went back to the way it was and it was leaking because there was a puddle on the ground.so its probably the slave cylinder.

The clutch master cylinders, in particular, on preludes are known to go bad.. you will see leakage on the interior under the shaft..

I bought a replacement on ebay for cheap..
