Hey. I have a 96 civic hatch with a 2000 SiR motor and drive train installed. I recently tried to downshift and go around a corner, when i pushed the clutch pedal in, it felt fine for a split sec, then went soft. I couldn't get it into 2nd gear, so i coasted almost to a stop. Then it went into gear, and i got home. Now when i try and start in 1st or reverse, the clutch doesn't engage smoothly, it causes the car to lurch. Any ideas what might have let go? Thanks!

sounds like a bad master cylinder...
its possible that its your throw bearing, but it sounds like what happen to me, i was on the feeway with a girl none the less in the car when i down shifted to pass a car when wham it wouldnt go in gear, any gear. i had to coast off the free way luckly i maded it off. car would start but go no where. later on found out that i needed a new clutch because one of the springs had poped out a tad causeing it not to go in gear. meh what can you do.
even IF its your TOB, you mine as well replace the clutch if your down there in the tranny... if you dont have the money, but have the time.. just find out what the actual problem is and replace that part. but i would def. recommend that you replace the clutch, i did, i got a ACT stage 1 clutch/11 lb. flywheel and i like it.
Sounds like Slave cylinder to me..
