I have a 93 prelude h23 turbo. The other day I was driving, and I noticed that shifting into gears was becoming difficult, and sometimes I wouldn't even be able to put it in gear. Then I noticed that my clutch wasnt full of pressure. It was only engaging about half-way. Before it completely went out, I opened the clutch fluid cap, and pumped the clutch, and it eventually came back to full pressure. I road around for a few more days, thinking that it was fixed, and sure enough it happened again, except this time, a lot worse. I have absolutely no pressure at all, It is pressed to the floor, and stays there. I have to manually reach down there and pull it to me. I don't know what the problem is? Can anyone help?

bleed it, look for leaks.

 

clutch master cyclinder... probably needs to be replaced
check that

 

As MileHigh said it's most likely your clutch master cylinder, and if that is it be sure to replace your slave cylinder also.

you should double check the clutch slave cylinder for leaks also.

yup.

MC, SC, or the lines--but the hydraulic system isn't holding pressure.

 

Check the slave cylinder first, it's on the front of the tranny and is right there when you open the hood. Pump the clutch a few times and see if there's fresh fluid on the tranny casing. If not, check under the master cylinder.

 

had the same problem with mine, just not to that extreme. replaced the master and slave cylinders = all better . have them check out.
