Default 1988 honda accord question

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a 1988 honda accord lxi it has around 229,000 miles on it and clutch might have around 35,000 miles on it or so something like that. I know when you get in it in the morning the clutch is tight and once I drive it for a bit it starts getting not as stiff. THen if I let it sit for like 3o r 4 hrs someting like that it get stiff again. When it tighter it shifts better. WHat is the problem? Has anyone ran in to the same problem? Is it a major problem? how hard is it to fix this problem?
I need some help quick please thanks

i have never worked on a clutch before, but i'm guessing it could be a temperature problem. and i do not know how to fix it

Check the fluid level under the hood for the clutch it could be dirty on have some sludge in it causing this to happen. I also ahve an 88 LXI with 280K on it.

Where do you check it at because Im not sure where to look for it at since there is no dip stick?

there's a reservoir for the fluid. i think in ur car, its on the passenger side firewall.
if ur having a hard time finding it, then check the fluid level in all teh reservoirs u see.

it looks like the reservoir for the brakefluid, but its much smaller.
