I've owned 3 mt cars and I've never had a clutch problem with them, so I apologize in advance if this is a noob question. I got in my car after work last night and noticed it was very difficult to place the shifter into gear. I drove about 10 minutes and stopped somewhere for a few hours and got back in the car- same thing but now the clutch pedal sinks almost completely to the floor before it grabs. I gunned it in 1st gear and it did not slip. That particular clutch set up is an oem disk, ACT pp, and Comptech flywheel. I had it installed a little over a year ago when Honda bought a new engine for me.

I'm assuming I need to replace the clutch slave cylinder?

**I just noticed there's some fluid by the clutch pedal**

If theres fluid by the pedal then I would say the master cylinder is at fault. The slave cylinder is mounted on the transmission. Hows the fluid level in the reservoir?

There is fluid in the resevoir but looks just a tad on the low side. It looks really dirty and greyish

What parts should I order?

You need a fluid replacement and clutch adjustment. No parts.

Thanks Billman- I'll try that tonight.

Bled clutch as Billman suggested and for the time being it works. While I was under it though, the slave cylinder was squeaking really loud while my friend worked the pedal. Does that mean its shot? Also there was fluid on it- not sure if it was leakage or spillage from draining it though.
