Default Prelude:clutch/tranny

Recently it felt harder to shift into the gears. My clutch doesn't feel like its slippin. Its just hard to get into gear sometimes. Especialy when I have to come to a complete stop and start from first again. When it gets hard to shift I hear metal noises.
What could it be? Low tranny fluid? DO I have to bleed the clutch? I don't really have the money to buy the clutch right now.

I just filled up the reservoir with DOT34 since it looked low, but its still doing the same thing. I have a H22A4 tranny 5thgen.

there is no tranny fluid reservior for one. if you need to change your tranny fluid you put it into your transmission. for you clutch you use dot 3 or 4 brake fluid and you put that in your clutch fluid resercior right about your master clutch cylinder.

your master clutch cylinder is leaking.. another common prelude problem.. get a new one from advance auto or ebay(got mine for $35), and replace it.. then fill it/bleed it with valvoline synthetic fluid...
