Default wont go into any gear

I have a jdm gsr swap in a eg hatch, not that it matters. Anyways, Im driving along and i felt my clutch getting more and more sensetive throughout the day and just thought it was nothing or it was my imagination. Then it got progessively worse to the point where it wouldnt go into anygear. I looked under the car and theres no tranny fluid leaking or even wet. When i press the clutch its like putting youre foot into a bucket of water and it dosent even return to original position. I managed to make it home 60 miles with using 5th gear alone, it was a miracle. Anyway, my friend says it might be the slave cylinder went. I have no idea. If anyone knows what it is, can they post how to fix it or a thread that shows.

you probably will need a clutch master cylinder. if the slave is leaking into the boot it is a good idea to do it as well at the same time.

Check the clutch fluid. If it's gone then wipe your hand inside the car where the clutch master cylinder is inside the car and see if there is anything. Those are known to crack or start leaking on Hondas.

i dont think any clutch fluid is gone since there tranny is dry as a bone and no drippage. All i know is that when i started my car up this morning, the car felt weird, like the clutch super sensetive and has got progessively worse to the point where it only stays in neutral when car is ON

I checked on the inside of the car, and right where the clutch pedal goes in, theres a black cylinder and it was leaking some fluid onto the floor mats, what does this mean?

You need a new one. The clutch fluid isn't in the tranny. It's in a resoviour on the drivers side next to the firewall. Next to the brake master cylinder. The clutch master cylinder is probably empty. If you pour some brake fluid in there (DOT 3 or 4) and pump the clutch slowly, you should beable to make it stiff enough to take it somewhere to have it fixed if you're not planning on trying to do it yourself.
