What does this mean?
so i was driving to the honda-tech meet today and on the freeway during rush hour and it was clutch gas brake for about an hour heading there and on the way home my clutch pedal felt like its softer and wasnt as stiff to press down anymore? does it mean the clutch is going out?

Re: What does this mean?
Is the fluid low in the clutch master cylinder? If so, check for a leak at the top of the clutch pedal, the master cylinder, and the slave cylinder. If you can't find a leak, bleed the hydraulic system and check the clutch fork where it contacts the slave cylinder.

Re: What does this mean?
Leaky/worn-out slave cylinder is probably the culprit (as prev mentioned).
Mine was losing fluid. It broke in half when I removed it from the car--pretty far gone.
Fairly easy to swap out--just be sure to bleed the air out of the cylinder before you bleed the lines.
Part was around $120, IIRC. Fluid is Dot 3 brake fluid IIRC.
