Default HELP!!! Clutch/Transmission Problems

posting for 1Cloudwalker1 (trial restrictions)

i had my teg for only about 3 weeks now, i also learned to drive manual in this time, the last 2 weeks i've gotten a hang of the threshold on first gear completely and drive fine, no problems, and then all of the sudden yesterday i was leaving the gas station and when i let out to threshold while giving gas it seemed like i let it out too far and the car was shaking rhythmically like it was about to stall so i let out more and gave gas, i tried again and again and it still does that, it feels as if threshold has gotten shorter and is extremely difficult to find and hold, i also tried getting around 7 rpm in second and shift into third to see if it grinds and it didnt but it went into third pretty tough. Then today i parked and when i was stopped (car running) i put it into first to see if its ok and when i did i heard a knocking sound which seemed to be coming from the transmission, i made sure that clutch was down to the floor and it was, sound went away after a little while. I also don't know if I have a racing clutch or if it's just an old clutch, it's pretty tough to get to the floor, it goes smooth, but it's hard, but my friend said it could be a racing clutch, that pops up fast, so I don't know what it could be, help me out (this happened out of nowhere by the way, not progressive or anything), help me out please
cliffs: threshold seems to be extremely small in first gear. Shifting to 3rd seems a bit tough in high rpms. Put it into first gear while stopped and transmission started knocking. I have a tough clutch, don't know if it's a racing clutch or if it's worn out.


update: i was stopped, put it into first gear, clutch down to the floor, didnt let it out, didnt give gas, as soon as i put it into first it stalled on the spot, shook once but the car was still on.

HELP!!!!

Clutch is bad.

Next time you don't know how to drive, practice on a ford so you don't ruin anymore hondas.

ya went to the dealership, the clutch is fucked, so i found some shops that will do the installation for about 350 labor, I don't know what kind of clutch I should get, I can get a honda clutch from the dealership or I can get an aftermarket clutch but I heard that it's not good to put a performance clutch on a stock car, so I'm confused

do you really think that I could have fucked something up just because I learned on it? I mean I just stalled out a few times, grinded a gear like twice, so really I don't think I drove it hard enough to **** up anything
