Default Transmission problems...

Parked the car last nite in reverse and the parking brake felt kind of loose. I live on a decline so the car rolled forward a bit and I parked and went inside. Didn't think much about it, but this morning i went to step on the clutch and it felt way softer than before. Tried moving it out of reverse and next thing you know the pedal didn't have pressure at all anymore. I am able to shift without even stepping on the clutch now. I don't know much about transmissions but did the cable for the pedal just snap? I didn't try to start the car now what?

It sounds like your slave/master cyclinder went out. Look around for leaks. Check your clutch fluid.

97 Preludes are the ones with the most problems. It's the first year for the new body style Preludes.

Good luck on the fix.

Yep, you need a cool head before working on the car. You don't want to break anything.
