Default I think my clutch is dead...gotta few questions

For the past few days the clutch hasn't been engaging properly especially right after starting the car on a cold morning. Tonight after starting the car (the car had been sitting in the cold for about 12 hours) the car didn't even want to go into gear anymore...had to wait about 10 minutes before it went in. There's also very little actual travel space left on the clutch pedal...I know this sounds very confusing but what I'm trying to say is that you can push the pedal down like there's no resistance at all then you'll finally start to feel some pressure. Sorry for the bad explanation but this is my first manual car as well as my first experience with a bad clutch, so it's kind of hard for me to explain. I'm thinking that my clutch is just about dead, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I also checked ebay for a new clutch and came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1922180171
I was wondering if this would be a good OEM replacement and if anyone has any comments or other suggetions. Also, would this clutch fit into my 95 Si? I'm kind of confused since it says "Honda Civic, 1.6L 92-00" but then it says "Honda Civic Del Sol, 1.6L 92-95, Non Vtec" When it says Non Vtec does that only mean no SOHC VTECs cause it says it'll fit all 1.6L civics from 92-00.

I'm very sorry for the long post, but as you can see I'm kind of confused here. thanks

Its not your clutch its the cluth-master -cylinder... you probably have a leak in the hosing for it...

i think it costs around $75 parts and labor to get that fixed

Check the level of fluid in your clutch master cylinder (it's the smaller one closer to the fender). I had this same problem once, filling up the clutch master cylinder fixed it.

Yeah, if you're losing pedal pressure you'll definitely want to check you clutch MC for clutch fluid. You may just be low, if you are you may want to check for any leaks in the hose or clutch lines as well as the clutch slave cylinder. Good luck
