It sounds like the clutch isn't disengaging fully - try bleeding the hydraulic system.

cheers,Went out there to do a test.Cant get it in any gear and dont really want to force it in.When i try abit i can feel the car moving or lifting abit from it,Can still change gear when the car it switched off.
 
Also when was your transmission oil changed and was it genuine Honda oil.
 
It might harm the gearbox if you try to engage a gear while you have this problem. Have you checked the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder?

Then get this flushed and changed straight away as this is not an expensive thing to do.If you have no service history also get the car full serviced with all genuine Honda filters and 0w30 oil.
 
If you have one, look in the manual for instruction. If not...
With the bonnet up it's the smaller of the 2 reservoirs with screw tops bolted to the rear of the engine compartment. Level indicator is on the side - shine a torch through the reservoir to see level clearly (don't have to unscrew top). But if the level is low enough to have caused this problem then it will need flushing through (aka 'bleeding') to get the air out. And I'd be a bit worried as to where the fluid has gone!

The only thing worth checking around the clutch pedal is the cruse control switch and that this is set correct.Have a look at clutch slip this will tell you all about it.
 
Good luck at the garage. I think it's most likely a clutch cylinder failure, which isn't too bad to have fixed. But, if you're unlucky, then it could well be the clutch asembly that's failed... if so then there are many options for replacement (especially if remapping is of interest to you), so check out CG Motorsports site for details of uprated clutches and/or SMF options.
 
This sounds like the same systems as mine unfortuntly was clutch & DMF for me fingers crossed mate
 
Hi guys,sorry about the late update on the motor.
Turned out the *** before me put the clutch in the wrong way around.Ended up getting a new clutch and fly wheel, Car is back on the road and drives like a dream again.
