Clutch all of the sudden grabs low....very low????
Well, I just noticed this today when I went out to do some errands. My clutch all of the sudden grabs really low to the ground. I barely even have to release it and it catches. What could this mean? Is it time for a new one? It's the stock clutch in my gsr hatch hybrid.TIA

You have a leaky clutch master cylinder!!!!
Just look under the dash up by the clutch pedal pivot point!!!
Just replace it and bleed the fliuds and you'll be koo again...

The worst thing that could be wrong is the clutch might actually br going out!!!
Signs of failure are... Hard to shift gears(grinding)and a slipping clutch!!!

I have the same problem on mine, it grabs low, then doesnt grab in the middle, and grabs at the end. My clutch is about gone too so its prob a problem with both.

I have around 20K miles on my 00 B18C1 so I doubt it's my clutch. I think I have air in the system. I will bleed it tonight and try adjusting the pedal. What are you all's thoughts on speedbleeders?

Its your clutch Master Cylinder, my pedal did the same thing yours did, then later that night it went out completely and I couldn't get it into gear at a stop light. It is also a DIY job. Just make sure you adjust the master cylinder piston and TIGHTEN THE BOLT. I waited to adjust mine and it got so misadjusted that my clutch wouldn't engage at all, that was 20 miles from home
