Default Need clutch help ASAP

My clutch doesnt seem to be working, I can completely release the clutch pedal with the car in first and the car just sits there. I have to stomp on the gas to even get the car moving. I am not sure if the clutch is just completely fucked or if it needs to be adjusted because it was set really high before.

The car is a 1992 civic cx with a 99 B18B1 motor and 00GSR tranny.

so u guys think my clutch is fucked? or just the pressure plate?

I was thinking of picking up a clutchmaster stage 3 or 4 for future turbo plans but i wasnt planning on getting one so soon.

So you dont think the pedal needs to be adjusted?

its either the clutch or the pressure plate, and as a rule of thumb, if you change one, you should change the other too, cuz its probably on its way out too

pedal adjustment has nothing to do with it slipping

only thing adjustment does its change where the clutch engages

yeah thats why im thinking it needs to be adjusted because the engagement point was super high and now it just doesnt seem to come all the way up now.

I guess ill be ordering a new clutch and pressure plate and flywheel soon....****

Which ACT setup do you think is good?

Right now im looking at $950CDN for a clutchmasters stage 3 or 4 and a fidanza flywheel.

Open to other options but it doesnt seem that exedy has anything to handle the power im looking at putting down and ACT confuses me with there whole website.
