Default bad clutch master cyclinder??

Friend of mine has a 92 accord, the clutch grabs super low to the ground.
on occasion he wouldnt be able to get the car in gear, he would litterally have to lift the pedal up with his feet then press on it agian to get it in gear

the pushrod is maxed out, there are no visable leaks anywhere

is it time to replace the master cyclinder??

It's possible that he only needs to bleed fresh fluid thru it. Is the reservoir empty?

Those were my exact symtoms when my clutch mastery cylinder went out. you can adjust where it grabs but if you cant get it in gear its getting ready to go. One thing you can do to pop it in gear is to pump the clutch a few times and then put it in gear. Thats what i had to do to get it to a mechanic.

replace it and i think you solve the problem

Is it leaking into the vehicle by the pushrod?
