Default Clutch problem? Transmission doesn't wanna go into gear easily and slow clutch pedal

I have a 98 honda civic with a b18c 92 with a rebuild transmission around ( 15k or so ago all syns replaced and 2nd gear replaced because of a broken shift linkage), act heavy duty street/strip clutch kit, act lightened flywheel, and a quaife lsd.

When I went to start the car today the clutch felt slow going down and slow coming up. When I pushed it down It didn't want to go in any gear easily. I had to gently push it it first. After getting the car moving it would go through the gears with little trouble ( didn't go past 40 mph and 3rd gear). But when Ever I would stop at a light I had the same problems again.

Yesterday everything worked fine. I don't think I've replaced the transmission fluid since the rebuild, and I made sure the clutch fluid was full and was flushed about a year ago.


Thanks for looking.

check if you low on clutch fluid. if you are then check for leaks. honda slave cylinders tend to leak alot. if so thats why you dont have any pressure in the clutch
