Default Weird problem with Clutch/Tranny

Been ages since I've posted on this board, but I need some help!

So about a year and a half ago, I had a B18b swapped into my 96 DX coupe, it's been runnning like a champ, but as of late I've been experiencing weird problems with the cluth and/or tranny.

When I go to drive the car, the cluth pedals feels like it has no resistance like it normall should and when I go to put it into gear, it won't go into gear at all.

It's winter time and is pretty dam cold where I live (average -15c) so I was thinking that was the problem. Once I drive the car a bit the clutch seems to go back to normal in terms of foot pressure required then it shifts fine and all is normal.

Has anyone ever experienced this before, could something be wrong with the clutch or is this a regular thing to happen in the cold?

I'm totally baffled, help me guys/girls

that has hydraulic clutch pedal, doesnt it? Early Preludes did that and it was because the master cylinder for the clutch was so far away from the heat.

Well I checked the fluid in the master Cylinder and it was a little low so I topped it up. It helped a bit but it still isn't engaging like normal. Is it possible that with the fluid getting low like that, that there is possibly air in the lines?

pull the carpet back behind the clutch pedal at the firewall and see if you find fluid, if you do its a leaky master cylinder, it sure sounds like you are building air into your system some where

Yeah this is the same problem i had. I would replace your master and slave cylinder, then add brake fluid and bleed it. Should solve your problems.
