    Default HELP ABS and Clutch

    This is for my 95 Prelude (H23)

    when i press the clutch in to shift the clutch goes all the way to the floor, but it takes a few times to shift into gear. sometimes it wont even shift into gear.

    do i need tranny fluid?

    and also when this started to happen my ABS light came on, what do i do to fix it?

    thanks

    does it just like go to the floor easily? does it grind when u try to put it into gear? does it do it worse in reverse? when did it start happening? u touch anything before it started to do that. i doubt its ur tranny fluid, to me it sounds like a clutch problem but its hard to say without seeing the car.

    it depends whats wrong with ur abs system. damn, 95...do u know if u still might have a 16 pin connector for obdII. if so u should be able to hook a scan tool up and go into the abs computer. hmm if ur around lawrenceville u should bring it to K&R auto. its a great shop, thats why i decided to go back and get a job with them
