Icon2 More Nooob Questions: Clutch adjustment, Tranny Fluid LS swap

Hey, most of the time it's the dumbest simple things I can't find answers to on here ha ha! So I just drove my little 91 Si B18A1 from Iowa to Orlando Fl because I moved here. That car ran like a champ burned very little oil and kept up with a steady 75-80mph for almost a 20 hour drive.

Now I have got here, and in city driving isn't so comfortable anymore, my clutch pedal has a lot of slack in it and feels very light is the best way I can describe it. I can push it almost 5-6 in before it starts to disengage. Then it's like sometimes it doesn't disengage all the way and it's VERY hard to shift in and out of 1st and 2nd gear, reverse is the same and it grinds going into it. Never had these problems until after the trip. So I was going to try putting some seal repair in it, and check levels but I cannot for the life of me find a dipstick or anything of that sort. Am I just not looking in the right place? Do I have no idea what I'm talking about or what ha ha!

So I just want to someone to talk to me like I'm 10 and help me adjust the clutch if that can be done, and hopefully get me pics on what I am looking for to fill the tranny.

Than last quick side note, my uncle highly recommended I try using Amsoil full synthetic oil, I am currently running Mobile1 full synthetic. Is it worth the extra $10-15? I don't car about the cash if it's justifiable and not just a name.

Thanks again!

Wow awesome, thanks! Is there somewhere I can find these pictures like this that I don't know about? Would be a lot easier than a new post everytime I can't figure something out!
