Sounds like theres air in your clutch lines. Look by your pedal is there a pudde of fluid? If so then its you Clutch Master Cylinder.

Check around your slave cylinder and see if theres any oil. Try a regular bleed and see what happens.

If you can't understand that, you're not going to understand how to fix it. Look on your transmission for a little thing bolted to the front of it with a hard line attached to it. Look to see if it looks like fluid is leaking there. Follow that hard line back to your master cylinder and see if you can find fluid leaking there (it will be in your floorboard by the clutch pedal inside your car).

It doesn't sound like your clutch is dead so much as your master/slave cylinder.

check the front of the transmission for a part that looks like this....



this is from a prelude, but very similar...this is called the slave cylinder. If this is leaking at all, all the hydraulic fluid is going to seep out, rendering your clutch pedal useless. Sounds like the culprit to me, but it may be other things as well

Sounds like the slave cylinder is out. It's a $10 replacement from Auto Zone. All you'll need is a 12mm socket/ratchet and a 10mm line wrench. If that doesn't solve the problem, it's your master cylinder. Here's how to replace that: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1265999

the fluid is contained within the metal/rubber lines, there should not be any fluid within that rubber guard.

No offense, but I don't think you will be able to fix this...

Check your clutch fluid. Its the smaller resivoir next to the brake booster/master cylinder. Is is low?

Have a friend put his hand on the shift fork... (You can feel it through the big rubber boot at the end of the slave) and push the clutch pedal in and out. Does it move?

If the shift fork/slave isn't moving, or there is no fluid in the clutch fluid resivior, then you have a leak or a bad slave.
