im pretty sure the clutch master cylinder pokes through the firewall and attaches to the clutch pedal mechanism in the foot well... i helped a mate fix his on his prelude and it wasnt too hard a job

its a matter of disconnecting it on both sides of the firewall and replacing it... but clutch fluid will go everywhere so be careful..... and youll need to do a clutch fluid bleed etc afterwards... there might be a tutorial in the workshoop manuals...

you should probably get the problem diagnosed by a professional first ... and if youre not mechanically minded, you might want to get them to fix it too...
