Default Clutch feels loose?

everyone who drives a stick on a honda knows that the clutches (oem for that matter) are really sensitive. well last night my clutch was fine when i parked it. i put my autolock on and everything seemed fine.

then this morning on my way to work.. i'm about to leave my house... then i stall (first time in a year). i come to realize that the engagement point for my clutch seems a little later. like my clutch for the first two inches you push it seems like it has no resistance at all.

i got a new clutch about two months ago and have put 1500 miles on it since.

my brother says its just that the clutch has been worn in properly. i feel that the change in engagement points was too dramatic of a change.

anyone have insight?

assuming it is a hydro clutch, check your fluid level if your low on fluid fill it up with some dot 3 bleed out the air in the line and start looking for a leak. by later you mean you have to press the clutch pedal more right?

just checked it... theres not fluid in the clutch cylinder. ill fill it up with brake fluid. is there any reason to why my fluid is low other than a leak?
