Okay ht, so i've started a thread once before and it didn't get far so i'm hoping i can get some valuable info based on this common seeming problem.
[B]I have a 1994 honda civic cx w/ a b20b swap.[B]
I'm a delivery driver so i was at work and the clutch was working fine, then later on after i got off of work; got dressed and heading out.. i noticed the pedal was more towards the floor and the grab was almost instantly when let off.
Drove it like this for the night thinking i'd get to it tomorrow and this morning i couldn't even get the stick to go into gear. it goes into reverse but won't come out that easily. Now clutch has no play.
Some people were telling me it may be a cable snap? throwout bearing faulty? I tried picking up some codes from the p75, but unfortunately the CEL just stayed on, no blinks.
Sorry for my lack to knowledge but i have no experience with transmission components. looking to find out where to spend my miniscule amount of money for this problem! thank you for reading.

Try bleeding the clutch and see if that fjxes it and check the fluid level on slave cylinder

check the clutch fluid

I thought the civics were mechanical and the accords were hydraulic. aren't slave cylinders only in hydraulics?

MjayCx

maybe that was a dumb question but, i'll try bleeding out the lines like you had said.

Go under the dash to where your pedal connects to your master cylinder, is there crap oozing out of the master cylinder boot? It is a hydraulic system, and there is a good chance you have a leak or broken master cylinder, slave cylinder, or hose. Is the fluid full in the reservoir?

MjayCx

Well I just checked it, and there is some grease popping out the boot.. And I checked the reservoir today and there was barely any fluid, so I put se and it looked like fluid mixed with a bunch of dirty fluid- pretty brown if you will..

MjayCx

So I cleaned it out completely (just the reservoir)

Once the fluid gets that low you have introduced air into the system. You need to add fluid and bleed the clutch while keeping it nearly full. It is best to have a helper. You also seem to need a master cylinder, and when you replace that, you will need to bleed the system. So, it is best to replace the master cylinder and do it all at once. And if it is too far gone you have no choice. Bleeding the clutch when there is air in the system can take hours, sometimes it doesn't, but I have had to do it for a long time before.

Post a pic of the blown out master cylinder if you want.

Problem solved!! Thanks to Dazebreak.
Purchased a new clutch master cylinder from auto zone about $26.
Installed it, bled the lines (took about 10-15 mins)
And refilled clutch fluid. works like a charm now Thanks alot guys! now i can get back to work tomorrow.
