Default Clutch engagement really low and doesnt go into gear unless double clutched

I have a 99 integra ls with 134xxx miles on it im not sure if the clutch has been replaced or not but after i did a second to third gear pull to get on the highway my car has been giving me a lot of trouble. I have to double clutch to get into any gear but it still is a little trouble some. first gear i have to pump the clutch a couple times to get it to engage where it does normally. Theres a lot of play in the clutch pedal and i can feel vibration in the clutch pedal. There is no brake fluid leaking anywhere it has been in the same spot since the last time i bled my clutch. I bled it again today and it still does the same thing. Oh and in first gear it chatters and the front starts hopping going up hill it, doesnt do it as bad on flat pavement. I just wants some answers before i spend loads of money. Thanks

Clutch slave or master cylinder is probably going bad if you have already checked your fluid is good. If you can bleed it to the slave cylinder then I'd say it's your slave that's going bad. Also you might want to check your clutch adjustment bolt.
Good luck

Damn I didn't even think of the slave cylinder..but it still kind of sounds like your clutch is gone and the springs fell out of it

If pumping the clutch raises the pedal, check the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder and bleed the system.

The clutch master could be bad. Have you looked at the motion of the slave cylinder when someone else depresses the clutch?
