Thumbs up Clutch gone Jello...

I was just having a good time driving topless enjoying Friday...but than...I started to notice the shifting felt funny, almost feels like there wasn't any lube in the tranny, the clutch pedal felt like butter for the first half of the travel...even when clutch press down hard the S will move forward slowly on a flat roadway...I even had a hard time shifting it into reverse...FYI, never dump my clutch (lol...i know better) or drag or race or whatever you wanna call it...my buddy inform me that my clutch is fried, the funny thing is I had fried a clutch in my previous S but this time doesn't have any of the same sign and symptom...any suggestion?

Check to see if you have any clutch fluid in there. You may also notice a sticky clutch.

Check your fluid level in the clutch master cylinder.

you also might want to check the tranny fluid, if it turned anything other than the color that you put in (which is normally red) then there is def. something wrong. If it come out grey, DO NOT drive your car anymore. There is metal in there and you could seriously damage your tranny.

honda tranny fluid is amber/gold in color.

red tranny fluid is usually automatic tranny fluid.
