Clutch on a honda repair or replace?
Good news! Those symptoms are not the clutch itself (which is an enormous pain to replace) but the hydraulic cylinders that actuate it. You can look for the tell-tale leakage that identifies the bad cylinder; the slave cylinder on the bell housing will be wet under the boot if it is leaking, or there will be fluid dribbling down the inside of the firewall where the clutch push-rod goes through from the pedal if the master cylinder is leaking. The wrecking yard should have those parts, or they are about $100 apiece at auto parts stores. I prefer to change both at the same time but when money is tight it is acceptable to change just the leaky one. Replacing either cylinder and bleeding the system afterward is an easy DIY job.
