I got in my car tonight to go home from work and stalled out really bad in the parking lot. I thought it was just me being an idiot . However, on the way home, I realized that I was having to push the clutch ALL the way in to make it engage. This is not something that I would normally have to do.

It shifts, no grinding, but there is a long way that the pedal will go down without the clutch actually engaging. It got a little bit better on the way home, but I'm clueless as to what the problem could be. Anybody have any ideas? Am I in for some costly repairs here?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

wait do u actually have a 99 lude or jus the engine from it?

Darn, I never took the time to change my sig. The del Sol is long gone due to an idiot pulling out in front of me and wrecking it. I currently drive a '99 Honda Prelude. It's bone stock with the exception of a AEM CAI put on by the previous owner.

I haven't had a single problem with the clutch until tonight. I start up the car and the pedal all of a sudden has a ton of give and barely engages. As I said, on the way home (it's like 15 miles) it got better, but not real great. It engages, just not very well until the pedal is an inch or two from the floorboard.

 

Master or slave cylinder, check for leaks
