Default Need Help with my 2000 Accord 5 speed

Engine is running ok, (not missing), my problem is loss of power at acceleration and it almost feels like the clutch is staying engaged or similar to that. Is there an adjustment or could it be a censor?
Thanks!

can you explain in a little more detail?

Not sure what you mean by loss of acceleration and clutch engagement? Are you saying that you start off in say 1st gear and as you accelerate you feel a loss of engagement, meaning it feels like it is coming out of gear? Like a slipping clutch? If so, yes you can adjust a bit, but I would immediately be looking at replacing the clutch as that won't last long even with adjustment.

Or are you asking something else?

How long since the clutch was done?

When I get in the car, I start the engine with clutch pedal and brake pedal pressed, I warm it up in neutral, no misses, rpm's are good, I put it in gear and drive when I accelerate it feels like I'm towing a heavy load, and the clutch pedal feels different.
Edit; I have only gotten to 3rd gear and just around the block, (my choice)

Did you just change the clutch? When did it start?

to me, if the clutch is not making any noise, no chatter or slipping, then I would think it's something else like fuel delivery, such as a filter or pump. Are you able to run a scan and see and maybe even record what is happening? For example, are the O2 sensors looking good, does the airflow look good (possible clogged air filter), do the plug look good, wires, distributor cap, etc.

If a clutch were over-engaged, it would stick in gear even if you moved it to neutral. If it were slipping it would feel like the car is revving but going nowhere. If that's what you are describing, then again I would think it's time to replace the clutch. adjustment won't really help in this case.

A new clutch was installed before I got it, per receipts and about 6 mos ago I replaced the master and slave cylinders of the clutch, I had a problem with air, but got it bled (Learned my lesson). The clutch is not making any noise or chatter, but almost feels like it's slipping, but I have no problem shifting or clutching or doing the speed limit, just the feel of towing a 20 foot trailer or something like that. I guess I'm going to have to find someone with a scanner.
Edit; byi, it started Thursday!

I just changed the plugs, wires, rotor and cap, can't check sensors, I have no access to a scanner. The clutch feels like it is not disengaging (perhaps I'm saying that wrong) When I am at a stop, then take off in first, I release the clutch fast, it pulls forward very slow, (it doesn't jump from letting the clutch out too quick) I runs fine except the drag. thanks

Default Still Need Help With My 2000 Honda Accord 5 speed

When I Let out the clutch from a stopped position in first gear the car moves forward very slowly, progressively getting faster, but it doesn't hop like it normally would if I let the clutch out quickly, everything else is fine, just the feel of a drag on the car, like the clutch is is not fully disengaging, but I am able to get to the flow of traffic with no problem. Thanks

I am not a mechanic, that's why I ask questions.
Could this be in the braking system?
