sounds like a problem with the clutch master or slave cylinder. Check to see if you have clutch fluid in the resivoir (smaller resivoir beside the brake fluid resivoir). I would also try bleeding the slave cylinder.

uh oh.. sounds like your master cylinder. If you pump it up a few times does it re-gain its firmness? Or it could be you just low on fluid, like andrew said, bleed it and top off the fluid

This happened to my friends Prelude, he had to change his master and slave cylinders. He didnt have to do both, but did just out of good measure. I dont remember which one caused the problem though.
