Honda Repair: 93 Honda Accord clutch pedal, clutch master cylinder, clutch fluid


Question
Three days after teaching a friend how to drive a stick using my Accord, I've noticed the clutch pedal has gotten very slack making it more difficult to shift into gears, especially first gear. Do I need a new clutch?

Answer
I would check the clutch fluid reservior (small reservior next to the brake reservoir) and I bet you find it low.  These cars are bad about the clutch master cylinder leaking fluid.  Look under the dash where the clutch pedal is and I bet you find a track down the firewall of fluid where the clutch master cylinder is.  I would replace both the clutch master and slave cylinders as a set.
