Default Clutch help

I need some help finding what my problem is. I have a 2001 S2000 and my clutch pedal feels like sticky. More when pressed all the way to the floor.

Has anyone felt this before?

Any possible fixes?

i fixed mine! i kept greasing the ball thing on the end of the slave cylinder, but it didnt do much. then i dislodged the clutch fork thing that holds the ball end and put grease on the other end with a flashlight and screwdriver. used honda hi temp urea grease since its gona be up in there with the clutch. dealer gave me a scoop for free

stickyness probably doesnt have anythign to do with teh fluid. bad fluid will make the top inch or more of travel mushy. but since you've got an 01, if you havent bled the clutch system in over a year, i'd do it. honda bled mine for me after i had a new master cylinder put in under warranty, but the fluid was slightly mushy after just 6 months. maybe i'm just anal, but i bled it and it felt great again.

the slave cylinder has a compressable side and on the end of that is a ball that fits into the cup on the clutch fork coming out from the transmission
