    96 Accord EX 5 Speed 75,000 miles.
    On my way home tonight, my clutch was mushy in that it didn't seem to engage
    as early as it usually does. Shifting out of first was fine but to come to
    a stop, I couldn't get it into first without jamming it. Only change
    between this morning and tonight was that the temperatures were colder today
    but nothing the car hadn't seen before.
    Thoughts?

    You should change your clutch (brake) fluid every time you have your
    brakes flushed. If you're lucky, topping up the (clutch) reservoir will
    get you going again.

    That worked. Thanks, Curly.

  4. Congratulations, CB. But do put the clutch fluid level on your daily watch
    list for a week or two. If it drops, you will want to look for fluid leaks
    at either cyylinder and replace any leaky ones before they bite you on the
    road.
