Honda Repair: 94 civic clutch, clutch pedal, switching gears


Question
this morning driving to work, I was switching gears and suddenly the clutch sunk almost all the way to the floor and is now very soft.  It still switched gears and drove fine, but it was quite a sudden shift in the feel of the clutch.

The car has about 125,000 miles on it and I just spent quite a bit on repairing the gas tank

Answer
Youve got a bad slave cylinder or master cylinder. Look under the dash at where the clutch pedal attaches to a rod then goes through the firewall. Look for wetness. Look for wetness under the hood as well where the master cylinder bolts to the wall. And lastly look at the slave cylinder on the transmission. If you pull the rubber boot back it will probably be wet inside there. After you figure out which one is the culprit, change both, cuase when you replace a old cylinder  with a new one. The one that hasnt been changed will go bad as well shortly.
