My car, a 94 Honda Accord 5 speed w/ 110,000 miles recently has had some shifting issues. It will be a struggle going into first and reverse, as if the clutch is now down all the way even though its to the floor, and also after shifting the clutch will stick for a split second before releasing. Whats to blame and how do I fix it?

My car will now no longer even get into gear. The "struggle" is now an impossibility as once I put down the clutch and throw the car into second a horrible ruckus is heard and no gear shift is possible. My car is now immobile. Is the clutch to blame? Brake / transmission fluid? What? Please respond.

meh... none of you guys got back in time, but in case anyone is interested. I got it checked out, and it was just the master cylinder. They replaced it and did all the work for under 250 and now it drives like new.

Conversation Summary

A 1994 Honda Accord 5-speed with 110,000 miles became hard to shift into first and reverse, with the clutch briefly sticking after shifts.

The owner later reported that a shop found a failed clutch master cylinder, replaced it for under $250, and the car drove normally again. An expert acknowledged the repair and thanked the owner for sharing the solution.
