Icon2 clutch/trans issues - clutch engages with pedal near the floor

Hello I have a 95 civic coupe with a mini me swap in it and a manual trans. The trans has a exedy stage1 clutch in it and has been great for the past 3yrs. Today I got in my car and noticed the engage point on the clutch pedal os only about a inch to two inches off the floor. Also now it is having a hard time goint into first and and reverse. And ideas? It does not seem like the clutch is slipping and I have not noticed any low fluid levels on it either. Any and all help is appreaciated. Thank youfyoufellow HT ppl.

Check for a fluid leak at the top of the clutch pedal from the clutch master cylinder. If so, replace.

It could also be caused by air in the hydraulic system, or a bad slave cylinder.

As sated above check the slave. It's prob leaking and u haven't noticed it because its leaking inside the car , down firewall and soaking into ur carpet More than likely , only thing it could b if u know ur clutch is good/ new for sure. Good luck.

Also I have noticed recently when I push my clutch pedal in there is a squeeking noise. Is this also a sign the master cylender is leaking?

If you double pump the clutch does it go into gear smoother?

Check your clutch line going to slave, rubber part to make sure line isn't expanding due to soft hose
