Okay so i got a 99 Civic has 164,000 km's.. car was running fine and great and then it started to get super hard to get into gear, clutch was feeling like it was going.. Then i couldnt get it into gear at all... got it home and left it parked for 2 weeks..... fired it up to charge the battery and the clutch now works fine... goes into all gears no problem.. any ideas? seems almost like a clutch slave issue maybe? Change and bleed the system? I dunt know i was planning on replacing the clutch in early spring but now i dont think i need too... ? hahah

Sounds like a hydraulic issue? I'd bleed/flush the fluid and inspect the master/slave for leaks or damage. Also make sure to inspect and/or replace the rubber lines in the clutch system. It's cheap insurance!
