Default clutch issues

today my clutch went soft on me and it is almost impossible to get into gear. the temperature dropped below 30 this morning which unusally cold for this area. my question is could it just be a temp. issue or do i need to check my fluid levels. if so then where is the resevior located for the clutch? thanks in advance.

Check your fluid levels. Engage your clutch a few times and then check it again check to see if your fuid level has moved any

If you have an actual Integra it should be just a few inches away from the brake reservoir around the vicinity of the brake booster on the driver's side firewall.

But if you're losing fluid in the cold then you have a 99% chance that your clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder is leaking. Or, there's a 1% chance that you just have bubbles in your clutch line, which can be bled from the slave cylinder on your transmission.

However if you have an OBD0 I believe the clutch is cable driven, so the year & model of your car would help also.

Sorry I never read signatures, most of them are just crap.
Yeah it should be next to your brake reservoir unless you bought it straight from Japan.

That's not normal, it means you've been using the same fluid for 100,000 miles, and you need to have it flushed. It's worth the expense to save your clutch cylinders.
