Icon7 Clutch Engagement Changing

Ok first off i have a 1995 SE integra with a JDM B18C Swap. Anyways the other night I stalled my car twice because the clutch was engaging at the VERY BOTTOM and usually its near the top like all my honda's have been. But after I pumped it a few times it was fine. I just thought it was a hick up or some air and didn't think anything of it. But two days later it started doing it again and wouldn't stop, so I replaced the slave cylinder which didn't help then the master cylinder and that didn't do anything either. I tried adjusting the pedal but either way I adjusted it the car wouldn't even go into gear. I can hardly drive the car cause its just not releasing the clutch completly when the pedal is down and you can smell the clutch after awhile. I just don't know what else it could be, I would understand if it started slipping and catching at the very top that the clutch would be going out, but because its catching at the bottom just doesn't make any sense to me? If anyone has had this problem or knows what I can do please help me???

Bleed the system. If that doesn't fix it then you need to replace the clutch, pressure plate, ect. Grabbing off the floor is a classic sign of a clutch in need of replacement, or a lot of air in the system.

ok dang I hope its not the clutch, I'll try a bleed it some more and see what happens If the spring is messed up or poped out which I've heard of before, wouldn't it make a lot of noise or something? And why would it stop for two days and start again? I've heard that those springs do come out but that just doesn't make much sense and the clutch is only about 6 months old too.

You probably have a good amount of air in there then. What brand is the clutch? If its f1 racing or xrt just assume you need to replace it. They usually last about 3 months before they go out. Make sure you are bleeding it properly. If you are unsure on bleeding it lmk. You need 2 people to do it right though.

yea I can't remember what clutch was in there thats a long story lol but I know its only about 6 months old. But I've bled clutchs many times, I'm just hoping that I didn't do it enough and thats the problem, I'll see whenever I get a chance hopefully tomorrow......
