Triage your clutch.
Thank you for this. Along with the previous poster’s recommendation I’ll attack the suggestions this weekend and circle back.Air in your clutch lines most likely, assuming fluid level is ok. Bleed/flush the system at the slave cylinder.

Working on a prelude isn’t that bad. And plus you learn new stuff when working on it. And you save a ton of money.Thank you for this. Super helpful. I’m going to attack this this weekend and go from there.
I haven’t worked on a car since changing the brakes and alternator on my 1994 Toyota Tercel in high school. But I’ll be doing all the work on this car both for the sweat equity and because I don’t have the extra bread to have it worked on by anyone else.
Thank you again. I’ll report back on what the fix is.
First start with the easy stuff. Download the factory service manual. Resources
Second, does your clutch fluid reservoir have fluid? Try topping it off and pumping the clutch and maybe it's as simple as you didn't have fluid. You may need to bleed the line of air which is done at the slave cylinder. Also keep an eye out for leaks. Pay attention to where its leaking if it is.
Basically the clutch system is made up of just a couple things, the clutch master cylinder, clutch dampener and slave cylinder. From the clutch master cylinder to the dampener is a hard line and from the dampener to the slave cylinder is a rubber line.
If your clutch master cylinder is bad, most likely you'll be leaking fluid under the pedals.
If slave cylinder is bad, it'll be leaking towards the front of the engine slightly to the passenger side.
If it's leaking anywhere else, it's most likely a line that's bad. More than likely, the rubber line which is discontinued.
This should get you running in the right direction. Good luck
