Default Stiff clutch

So my GF just picked up a 99 accord. It has the most stiff clutch I've ever driven on a honda. I checked the fluid real quick and it looks fairly clean. It doesn't feel like there is any air in the system or that its loosing pressure. I was thinking about bleeding it but I didn't really think that will fix the problem. Does this sound like a bad master cylinder? Maybe a bad slave cylinder? Thanks!

I'd say it's the master cylinder, I don't know much though. let me look it up.

it could be a restriction in the line ,,or the clutch bearing seizing up on the tranny input shaft .....try bleeding it first,if ok, than lube the pedal and shaft under dash with some wd 40 see if that helps ...

OEM honda accord's clutch are know to be SUPER SOFT, if it's kinda hard, there's something wrong with it
