Default HUGE Clutch Problem

I really hope somone can help me, i am so deperate i am about to take it to the dealer

My clutch has always acted funny, and i am saving to get a new one...but after leaving my car for 2 weeks it is now really really really bad.

OK

1. when you press on it is take NO effort to puch until the last inch or so.

2. For the first few minutes, when i take my foot completly off the pedal, like affter a shift, it will stick for several seconds (not at the catch point, it is already engaged but in the freee play area) then you hear a bang as it decides to come up (the pedal)

3. It will not shift at all when first starting the car, the clutch must be pumped a few times, its almost like it is not disengaging

4. When the car is started with the tanny in first, and the clutch in you can almost feel the car wanting to move forward, it doesnt have this feeling when the tans. is in nuetral when starting

5. It takes it extrmly long to engage on starting up, i hae to feather the clutch way to much


I let my freind drive it around my street today, and he says its really weird too. I dont understand it doesnt seem to be slipping yet so i thing the disk os ok for this point, is it the pressure plate? the master or slave cylenders? SOmething worse ?

My dad wont let me drive it, cus he thinsk is going to die, man school is starting soon, and im NOT RIDIN THE BUS!!!

Please help

Sounds like the hydraulics, not the clutch itself. Bleed the clutch because it just might be air in the lines. If that doesn't fix it, look around for leaks & post back. I'm guessing master cylinder...

Mine was just screwing up like that last week. Turns out the pressure line from the Master to the slave cylinder had a leak and I was losing fluid. Honda wanted to make me wait 5 days for the part so I had it custom made at a hose shop. The new one is steel so I wont have to deal with this again. Cost me $230 installed
