Not enough info. Can you possibly be LESS technical in your explanation of the problem?

Is the fluid low in the clutch master cylinder reservoir?

i just put in a new clutch slave cylinder and it still has fluid in the reservoir..

i was thinking if it could be the clutch master cylinder itself.. cause my clutch kicks in really low as well

First try bleeding the system.

all right.. was just driving before and i just noticed that when i put it into gear while still holding the clutch down, the car moves by itself.. very slowly though.. i don't think that's normal.. right?

and when i force it into gear, it makes a loud noise.. FML

Believe it or not I think that my car was doing this, it had a bad throwout bearing, and the axles were almost shot... I also needed a new clutch master/slave cylinders, and I bled the system when I put them in....It seems a lot better but my tranny still binds slightly in 1st and/or 3rd gears......I think I damaged it through all of the nonsense the car was subjected to....lol

However, I've put a lot of miles on it since then, and everything seems to be fine....pretty tough trannies that hondas have

DON'T force it into gear, you're killing your sleeves/synchros/gears. If the car is moving when your clutch pedal is fully depressed, then that means your clutch isn't fully disengaged from the flywheel.

As RonJ@HT has suggested, bleed the system. Try adjusting the clutch pedal travel while you're at it. Also, check the clutch master cylinder plunger on the cabin side of the firewall, to see if you're having a leak. If there is one, change the clutch master cylinder.

thank you guys, i will try all of that.. but another thing is that it only happens when i step on it to like past 8,000 RPM.. then it kinda locks up and then i can't get it in for a couple of day.. but if i drive normally for a couple days, i could start putting it in gear normally again.. i guess i just gotta get a new tranny, but what if i get it and that's not the problem? that's what i'm scared of
