hidraulic clutch engaging with pedal level too high when engine is warm
Hi Dear Accord specialists, newbe here.
I have a 1993 and could get some help from you guys. Cose the hidraulic clutch is engaging with pedal level too high, after engine gets nomral operating temperature. The disk is almost new replaced and with 2k miles on it. Something like the the hidraulic fluid or main/slave cilinders.
What could be the culprit?

The hydraulic clutch is relatively simple. It acts much the same as the hydraulic brakes do...Any air in the system will affect its ability to function correctly, and a leak from the fluid reservoir, master cylinder or slave will also defeat normal function. Check for proper level of fluid in the reservoir, look closely for any signs of a leak around fittings, then follow the line back to the slave cylinder with your fingers if possible. Obviously, you will need to put the car on ramps or a lift to inspect the slave cylinder and bleed it while a friend pumps the clutch. You may wish to get it diagnosed by a reputable shop to be certain.

In case bleeding the fluid doesn't give you any improvement...
There's an adjustment on the pushrod down at the pedal. Sounds like the pushrod is a bit too long. Get a shop manual & adjust it by-the-book.
With a hydraulic clutch you have to be careful about the pedal-height adjustment. You shouldn't adjust it for personal preference, because the master-cylinder has to be at just the right position in it's stroke when the pedal is UP. There's a vent that connects across the piston to allow it to self-adjust as the clutch disk wears out. If it's adjusted too high, that vent might close as the system warms up then it won't work properly.
