Default Clutch Help

Need some input on what may be wrong with my clutch. At the start of the week went out to the car to start it and the clutch went 3/4 of the way to the floor before i felt any pressure coming back. Any other time i feel pressure/feedback as soon as i press the pedal. When this happens I cannot get the car in gear with ease, I preety much need to force it into gear. Today i decided to bleed the system and came up with little or no change. Just looking for some possible solutions and a diagnosis of what is going on. Help is appreciated.

About to turn 70k
That is what I initially thought but it just happened very suddenly. The car sat for three days prior to the problem starting and when i was set to go to work it started acting up.
Would a bad slave cylinder be a possibility?

I just had the slave cylinder replaced. If its hard to shove into gear that is a possibility. Mine literally crapped out and all the fluid drained out of it causing the clutch pedal to get stuck to the floor.

I'm leaning towards the master cylinder on this one.

You can see if you can poke your head under the dash and see if where the plunger for the clutch pedal goes through hte firewall (into the master cylinder on the other side) looks juicy at all.

Honda masters are known for going out, and usually will start leaking in that area. My integra spewed nasty fluid all over the inside and my carpet soaked it up

Thanks for the help def looks like the master cylinder. I do indeed have fluid on the carpet and can see it leaking. Is 80.00+freight a good going price on the master cylinder or will the local honda dealers have it for cheaper??

I'm looking at my receipt and it shows $82.62 for the part and 4.97 for the fluid coming to a total of $87.59.

Even though mine was under warranty they still show all the costs billed out to the factory on the receipt. Including labor, the total bill was $227.63

Overkill but now you know what to expect if you pay to have it done

On a similar note, has anyone tried the Omni Power master cylinder?
