Question Clutch pedal slow to return

Hi- I have a 1994 honda civic vx with 98k on it. (2 door basic manual hatch built in canada.) I noticed in the past week that the clutch pedal seemed a little sticky at first... slow to pop back up.
It seemed to resolve after a little driving. I got in it this am and now I can't get it into gear at all. Is this likely just an adjustment issue or something more? I've never had any clutch work on it and i've had it since 50k. If it's an adjustment issue and you know of a specific youtube vid you can point me to I'd be grateful. Thanks.

Re: Hi- first post..

if you open your hood and look down you should be able to see the slave cylinder for the clutch:



you may have to pop the rubber dust boot off the get at the other boot on the actual cylinder.



if the little accordian boot in the above picture is full of fluid then your slave cylinder is leaking.

should also check the fluid level in the reservoir which is up on the firewall.
The master may also be leaking which usually leads to wet carpet near the clutch pedal.

hope this helps
