Default 98 accord clutch

Ok, 98 accord LX, 256K, mine since new.
I'm not sure what the problem exactly is, but when I'm in first gear, from lets' say at a stop light, anytime I have my foot on the clutch pedal for a while, when I start releasing it happens really quick, I mean not even 1/2 inch, and the gear engages, the clutch pedal has no resistance after that, until it comes all the way out, and then it's back to normal... of course until the next stop light.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Default RE: 98 accord clutch

Possible internal or external leak at master cylinder (MC) or slave allowing clutch to gradually engage w/ foot on pedal. Look for external leak at slave cylinder by squeezing boot and looking for fluid. Look around MC on inside and outside of firewall. If no external leaks observed and fluid level is good, the MC is bypassing fluid around piston, allowing clutch pressure to be lost.

Replace damaged part, bleed system, and you should have clutch action restored.

good luck
