Default Ej1 Weird Clutch Issue HELP

hey guys I recently traded my EF for a milano red ej1 with a d15b7...And iv noticed ever since iv got it the clutch pedal has a lot of play, and now my clutch has play and when i push the clutch all the way in its still SUPER hard to get in gear. It seems like my clutch only has about 2 inches of stiffness, it doesnt go all the way down and then all the way back up like a regular clutch...it only goes in a tad bit an then has alot of play. Iv tried to bleed the clutch system and still having this issue...Do you guys think its my Clutch itself, or my Clutch master cylinder, or slave cylinder?and sometimes if i stop in 1st gear in traffic and put the clutch in my car will start rolling forward. Also the kid mentioned that he had replaced the clutch pedal and says it just needs adjusted but it looks like its adjusted all the way :S...Someone help please, Sorry for the shytty grammer and stuff btw.

Ok if it is an ef it should be a cable clutch, Follow the cable to where it meets the transmission, loosen the plastic nut thing with your bare hands, no tools required, until you have a bit of play on the arm coming out of the tranny, or tighten it to take up some of the play but either way you should only have about a half inch of play at most.

If you have no leaks, more than likely your clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced. I would suggest Competition Clutch or Exedy stage 1.5.
