The honda clutch controls are hydraulic. You have a clutch master cylinder that creates pressure and a slave cylinder that operates the clutch fork on the working end.
if the clutch pedal is on the floor you have no hydraulic pressure. the first thing is to check the level of fluid in the clutch master cylinder reservoir. Open the hood and look on the rear engine wall approximately where you would think the clutch rod would come through the engine wall. You'll see a round cap on the master cylinder that is about 2" diameter. If the reservoir is low, refill it with DOT 3 brake fluid and then pump the clutch up by depressing and releasing the clutch pedal. Your clutch should start to work again.
if the system is low on fluid there is a good chance either the master cylinder or the slave cylinder is leaking. Most technicians recommend replacing them as a set.
I'm sure you'll find that you have a hydraulic leak and not a worn out clutch..
hope that helps

It sounds definately like a failed clutch slave cylinder...
It will not allow your pedal to come back up when it goes down. Therefore, there is no pressure to release the clutch packs to allow you to switch gears either. Usually, the slave cylinder is replaced along with the clutch master cylinder to eliminate any possible hydraulic issues...

you need a new clutch there is a mechanism in there that pulls and allows to switch gears. there is a good chance that its worn out... all clutches eventually wear out, do to stress so you power shift? you may need to check into having it replaced. shouldn't cost allot

The master or slave clutch cylinders could be out. Otherwise, you could have air in the clutch fluid line.

Pressure plate is more likely the problem. springs on pressure plate are not pushing tob back there for not pushing fluid then not pushing pedal.
